Our 4th webinar in The Honesty Sessions series is on Monday 18th November at 19:00 GMT, titled: Introducing the BPD Collaborative & Insights into Preterm Lung Health in Later Life. 

Introducing the BPD Collaborative & Insights into Preterm Lung Health in Later Life will provide an in-depth look at bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), also known as chronic lung disease, and the long-term impacts of prematurity on lung health. This webinar will feature three guest speakers alongside Lauren Ingledow, co-founder of the Adult Preemies Advocacy Network.

Dr. Steven Abman is Professor of Pediatrics and Director of the Pediatric Heart Lung Center (PHLC) at the University of Colorado Denver Anschutz School of Medicine and Children’s Hospital Colorado. Having completed fellowship training in Pediatric Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine, Dr. Abman has maintained strong translational research and clinical interests in neonatal lung injury, lung vascular development, pulmonary hypertension, chronic lung disease in the newborn (bronchopulmonary dysplasia, BPD), pulmonary hypertension, and related topics. Dr. Abman was one of the co-founders and is Vice-Chair of the international BPD Collaborative. He recently completed his tenure as President of the American Pediatric Society (APS).

Dr Sharon McGrath-Morrow, MD is a Pediatric Pulmonologist and physician scientist at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP). Her research centre's around the effects of neonatal lung injuries and infections on lung immune responses, alveolar growth, and adult pulmonary outcomes. Her clinical research focuses on developmental lung diseases caused by preterm birth and the role of environmental modifiers in influencing long-term respiratory outcomes throughout the lifespan.

Dr. J. Michael Collaco is a professor of pediatrics at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. His primary research interest is in the epidemiology of pediatric respiratory diseases, with a focus on environmental risk factors for cystic fibrosis and bronchopulmonary dysplasia as well as a special interest in the effects of second-hand smoke and electronic cigarette emissions.
