Sara De Matteis was among a number of colleagues who attended the American Thoracic Society (ATS) 2017 International Conference, held at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington DC, 19-24 May 2017.  Sara presented a poster, with which she is pictured here [see right], on 'The occupations at increased COPD risk in the large population-based UK Biobank Cohort', which attracted a lot of interest.

Further details on this study, funded by the HSE, into the causes of occupational chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in the UK, can be seen on our Research page.
