International research network that aims to translate our understanding of COPD into novel therapies. #copd #lung #translation

[Jen A-Brett @JABLab3]

Please join me and @Mkg_Lehmann for a great session on #extracellularvesicles at American Thoracic Society #ATS2026
MTE4 details below:

“Small but Mighty – Extracellular Vesicles in Lung Health and Disease.”
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are emerging as key mediators of cell–cell communication in the lung. They enable long-range signaling between structural, immune, and even microbial cells and may contribute to organ–organ crosstalk. At the same time, their precise mechanistic roles in chronic lung diseases remain incompletely understood.
MTE EVs
In this session, we will discuss how EVs contribute to diseases such as IPF, COPD, and COVID-19, and explore methodological aspects including EV isolation strategies and multi-omic approaches for their characterization.
MTE EVs
📅 Sunday, May 17, 2026
⏰ 10:45 – 11:45 AM (EDT)
📍 ATS International Conference

Boston you have been good. Leaving energized with new ideas to #cureCOPD after a fantastic @copd_inet meeting organized by @ytesfaig Enid Neptune @AlionderCPC @RoxanaWasnick @maorsauler @FrancyPolverino @vamsee_raju Ramana Sidhaye. Spent some extra days in best New England fall

[Mareike Lehmann @Mkg_Lehmann]

Now back home to planning @copd_inet 2025 with @suzcloo and @3Assembly in Prague. Stay tuned for updates

[Theodore S. Kapellos @KapellosTS]

Goodbye Boston, it's been nice! Till next time in the #COPDiNET in Prague, organized by @Mkg_Lehmann and @suzcloo

[Theodore S. Kapellos @KapellosTS]

Closing remarks by @AlionderCPC and @ytesfaig at the end of #COPDINET2024. We review previous successes and discuss what the next directions of the consortium should be. @LungHealthMUC @copd_inet

[Kambez H Benam DPhil @KambezBenam]

Just attended an incredible day at #COPDiNET2024 Symposium! Great insights into genetic susceptibility, innovative treatments, and latest research driving progress in #COPD care. Excited to see how these advancements will shape future for patients. #LungHealth #PulmonaryResearch

[Roxana Wasnick @RoxanaWasnick]

@copd_inet Symposium, the first Keynote Speaker, Prof. Richard Boucher gave a memorable lecture on mucus biology and its role in COPD development. @LungHealthMUC @AlionderCPC @Mkg_Lehmann @KapellosTS #cureCOPD

[Oliver @Eickelberg_MD]

Wonderful kickoff to 2nd @copd_inet meeting in #Boston today. Wonderful keynote address by Rick Boucher @UniversityofNo7. Fantastic set of speakers and attendees! Also, was reminded how some of Hyman Bloom’s art pretty much looks like an airway tree of emphysema…. Go check out his sketches @mfaboston

[Önder Yildirim @AlionderCPC]

The 2nd @copd_inet congress kicked off with the opening talk by @ytesfaig and Enid, followed by a keynote address by Richard Boucher on early #COPD caused by mucin. #TogetherWeCanCure-COPD

[Roxana Wasnick @RoxanaWasnick]

@copd_inet Symposium is on! Great introductions from the organizers @ytesfaig and Enid Neptune followed by a short presentation from our sponsor @LungAssociation. More than 100 participants amd 25 speakers. Let‘s get to the bottom of it! @AlionderCPC @LungHealthMUC
