Respiratory research is underfunded and undervalued. It receives just 2.5% of public research funding. Lung Research and Innovation Group have identified a new, unifying research framework to drive focus and investment: the Lung Research Grand Challenges.

Did you know that your body clock might affect your asthma? Professor @h_durrington's research study has found that testing in the morning could help people receive a more accurate diagnosis for their asthma.

💬“We were surprised that the increased likelihood of #asthma was only found in female👩🦰 night shift workers, and a similar effect was not found in male night shift workers," Robert J. Maidstone, PhD, @OfficialUoM, told Healio.

Women👩 working permanent night shifts🌙 vs. day shifts faced an elevated likelihood for moderate to severe #asthma, whereas this was not observed in men, according to data published in @ERSpublications.

We thank @JimShannonMP who tabled an important debate to discuss World Asthma Day in parliament last week. MPs recognised the devastating impact that asthma can have individuals, their families and our healthcare system. We urge the government to prioritise lung health in the new 10-year-plan for the NHS.

In 2019, @asthmalunguk published the Asthma Still Kills report, showing that non-T2 related airway diseases lagged far behind in terms of available treatments and care. I’m thrilled to be with the faculty again at #ICAN 2025 to drive international collaboration) in this area

🚨 New research news! Our funded researchers have found that taking a puff of your preventer inhaler mid-afternoon could be the best way to keep asthma symptoms under control. @h_durrington orlo.uk/32yfj

It’s all about timing! Taking inhaled steroids (..not the blue inhaler as shown in the picture!) in the mid afternoon may be the best way to suppress nocturnal peak in airway inflammation and airflow obstruction in asthma. bbc.com/news/articles/cn8v5p… @h_durrington
Treating asthma with inhaled corticosteroids at 4pm is more effective than twice daily or in the morning. See our new publication in Thorax 🫁🕓
