We are currently enrolling participants for the following studies. If you are interested in participating, fill out our Potential Participant Form using the link at the bottom of the page. Please note that each study has different requirements for eligibility.
Adult and Adolescent Asthma
-
Asthma is a long-term disease that causes inflammation and swelling of the airways. This results in narrowing of the airways that carry air from the nose and mouth to the lungs.
Asthma symptoms include trouble breathing (shortness of breath), wheezing, coughing, and tightness or pain in the chest. Symptoms can be triggered by different things for different people. Allergens, like dust or pet dander, are common triggers. Some people also develop asthma symptoms in response to certain foods or to exercise.

Chronic Cough
-
A chronic cough is a cough that lasts eight weeks or longer in adults, or four weeks in children.
A chronic cough is more than just an annoyance. A chronic cough can interrupt sleep and leave those who suffer from it feeling exhausted. Severe cases of chronic cough can cause vomiting, lightheadedness, and even rib fractures.

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
-
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a chronic inflammatory lung disease that causes obstructed airflow from the lungs. Symptoms include breathing difficulty, cough, mucus (sputum) production and wheezing. It's typically caused by long-term exposure to irritating gases or particulate matter, most often from cigarette smoke. People with COPD are at increased risk of developing heart disease, lung cancer and a variety of other conditions.
Emphysema and chronic bronchitis are the two most common conditions that contribute to COPD. These two conditions usually occur together and can vary in severity among individuals with COPD.
