2019 CFE Symposium - Infant and Child Lung Disorders: Genetics, Diagnostics and Tomorrow's Care

Stanford University School of Medicine

 

Berg Hall, Li Ka Shing Center

 

March 25, 2019

 

8:00 am - 6:00 pm


Since the discovery of surfactant protein by John Clements, MD in 1953, scientific findings have motivated dramatic advances in pulmonary medicine. Translating the discovery of surfactant into a clinical tool took more than 30 years, but the result transformed neonatal care for infants worldwide. New discoveries offer the promise of diagnosis and even cure for diseases previously unknown.

The Symposium brought together leaders from across the United States to address areas of lung biology, including surfactantopathies, congenital diaphragmatic hernia, interstitial lung disease and bronchopulmonary dysplasia.
