ABOUT US

The BALR is a community for all types of respiratory scientists, from basic to clinical, to provide a platform to exchange ideas, create collaborations, and further pulmonary research. We are a registered charity and have been active for over thirty years, and are proud to support respiratory researchers in the UK and abroad.

We host a fantastic annual summer meeting, allowing our members to come together in a relaxed atmosphere. We also host workshops on a manner of topics related to basic pulmonary research and techniques.

We also provide awards and prizes at our summer meeting, and at other respiratory meetings, to support young scientists in sharing their research.
