Building a successful career is all about mindset. Mentors, coaches, and supporters are key contributors, but the single most important factor is you.

Lung cancer screening works. But screening isn’t an unallied benefit for everyone being screened. As ever-larger patient populations undergo screening, it is becoming clear that some patients are better off not being screened. The question is who.

Bioengineering is making major inroads on the path from basic science discoveries to practical lung regeneration in patients. Cellular and tissue engineering are still far removed from routine clinical use, but a variety of experimental lung platforms show promise for in vitro lung pathophysiological modeling and regeneration as well as early in vivo work in patients.

A $5,000 cash prize is on the line for three early career professionals who will “pitch” their innovative research proposals to a panel of translational science experts during the ATS BEAR Cage competition.

Success in the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of COPD is at an all-time high in 2018. Still, gaps remain in the recommendations for certain aspects of care due to contradictory evidence in current medical literature.

Loyal to its tagline, “We help the world breath,” the ATS has been working to build research capacity in low- and middle-income countries through its Methods in Epidemiologic, Clinical, and Operations Research (MECOR) program for 25 years.
