Vision and strategy
Zero tolerance of asthma attacks
Since its launch in 2014, the Asthma UK Centre for Applied Research has been at the forefront of research making a real difference to the lives of those affected by asthma.
Our vision, aligned with that of Asthma UK, is a world where asthma attacks do not happen.
A collaborative environment
We are a network of world-leading researchers, working collaboratively on key areas of research to improve the prevention and management of asthma attacks.
Strategic research priorities
Our research focuses on developing, testing and implementing interventions which have the potential to achieve substantial, sustained reductions in asthma morbidity and mortality.
Continuously improving the research environment
We have created a supportive ecosystem to facilitate and advance the world-leading applied asthma research we undertake. This ensures all research is
- of the highest possible quality
- conducted efficiently
- with people affected by asthma at the core of all we do
Training the next generation of researchers
Creating capacity for the future, our Postgraduate training aims to enrol the most exceptional candidates and nurture them to become the next generation of leaders in world-class applied asthma research.
Do you have, or are you affected by, asthma?
We think you’re very important, and want to hear from you.
Keeping patients and the public at the heart of what we do is crucial to ensure our research has the biggest impact on the lives of those with asthma.
