So great to see our review out 🤩🫁
Bronchiectasis is driven by dynamic host–microbiome interactions, not single pathogens. Integrating microbial and immune multi-omics can define actionable endotypes, enabling precision therapy and accelerating translation from discovery to clinical care. bit.ly/4xfavDv

Thanks for inviting me to do this A special ERS congress because patients were at the heart of every session ❤️
💙 Patient voices took centre stage at #ERSCongress2026. Our four patient-centred studio sessions explored lived experience, patient involvement in research, health inequalities and stigma, all through the lens of partnership. 👉 europeanlung.org/en/news-and…
