Lung Research In San Diego County
Lung Research in San Diego County – Anchored by ACRC The American Lung Association-Asthma Clinical Research Centers (ACRC) network is an American Lung Association-sponsored research program seeking to develop large clinical trials that will provide useful information important to the direct care of people who have asthma. In 2004, the ACRC opened its first center on the west coast in San Diego, on the campus of UCSD. Click here for a list of clinical trials underway in our region.
The ACRC network, with 20 clinical centers and a data coordinating center, is the largest of its kind and seeks to conduct large practical clinical trails that will provide useful information about asthma that will directly benefit patients. This work involves large numbers of subjects, making the focus of the network different from current federally funded and commercial research. Thus, the ACRC is playing a unique and important role in asthma research. Click here to learn more about the national ACRC
