Our mission is to improve the lives of lung transplant patients and their families.

Impact

We are the only major non-profit organization dedicated to funding research into post-transplant rejection.

Bronchiolitis Obliterans Syndrome Externally-led Patient Focused Drug Development Virtual Meeting

Lung transplantation presents very specific challenges, but the most daunting is a form of rejection called bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS). Doctors know very little about BOS or why recipients are highly susceptible to it. Currently, there are no effective treatments for BOS and lung transplant rejection.

On June 22, 2022, the Lung Transplant Foundation hosted a Bronchiolitis Obliterans Syndrome Externally-led Patient Focused Drug Development virtual meeting.
