Gattoni et al. investigate whether MET-based physical activity guidelines associate with lower CVD risk in young Hispanic men. Are higher intensity exercise prescriptions needed to reduce CVD risk in this population? pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40409577/

“CSPR is very honored to be supported by Dr. Richard Casaburi.” Dr. Casaburi, a leading expert in pulmonary rehab & COPD research, was recently honored by the California Society of Pulmonary Rehabilitation for his outstanding contributions to the field. #nonprofit

@the_lundquist @harrybrossiter @JAMANetwork That's our team! Congrats to Dr. Rossiter and Dr. Casaburi!

LeAnn received a BS in Physiology from #UCLA & a MS from #King’s #College #London. She works as an exercise physiologist, performing #CPET & other tests for various #research studies. LeAnn recently completed her first Olympic distance #triathlon which she completed in 3:07:11.

Our #research fellow, Dr. Gattoni, and colleagues recently authored a #study exploring the effects of #PEM in #LongCOVID patients, a condition often compared to other post-viral syndromes like myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS). sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

The #RRC presented work at the #ERS Conference in Vienna. Dr. Stringer presented “Exercise Training Improves Symptomatology and Immune Cell Phenotype in Long COVID Patients-Preliminary Results”.

The #AVCVPR presented the L. Kent Smith Award of Excellence to Dr. Richard Casaburi. This award is the most prestigious & is given in recognition of outstanding contribution by an individual to the fields of cardiac or #pulmonary rehabilitation. #COPD #research #clinicaltrials

Dr. Abbasi is an PI & joined the #RRC in 2017. He received a Ph.D. in exercise immunology, & completed post doctoral training in #neuroimmunology, at The #Hertie Institute for Clinical Brain Research at University Hospital in Tübingen, #Germany & #MINDInstitute at UC Irvine.

RRC investigator Dr. Rossiter together with Dr. Gao and his team at Caltech have developed a prototype smart mask, called “EBCare”,designed to monitor various medical conditions, including respiratory ailments like asthma, COPD, and post-COVID-19 infections. #SmartMask #EBCare

Check out our COPD CCELL Research Study! The aim of this study is to investigate the causes of unintentional weight loss and loss of muscle mass. #COPD #clinicaltrials #medicalresearch #respiratory #plumonary #COPDAwareness #HarborUCLA #UCLAhealth #Torrance #Research

The RRC applied for the Win CIPP Program, welcoming Chinue Wilford, a 2nd year med student, as our summer participant. Over 6 intensive weeks, she worked with the center, focused on overcoming barriers to pulmonary clinical trial participation among underrepresented populations.

Congrats to Dr. Stringer and Dr. Abbasi! The focus of this grant is to develop and validate the accuracy of the novel Point-Of-Care Test (POCT) that is capable of rapidly and accurately detecting allergy provoking antibodies to environmental allergens (IgE). #Asthma #Research

Big Shoutout to our team! #LongCovid #RespiratoryResearch

Dr. Rossiter had the honor of being awarded a Visiting Professorship at the University of Pavia, Italy! He delivered an intensive 1-week course on exercise physiology to the students attending the top Medical School in Italy. #COPD #MedicalResearch #Respiratory #Italy #Pavia

We are thrilled to announce that our Pulmonary Critical Care Fellowship Program at Harbor-UCLA Hospital has welcomed three new fellows: Dr. Ghita Bouzarif, MD, Dr. Nicole Baghdasaryan, DO, and Dr. Kristine Cueva, MD. #Education #Medicine #Respiratory #HarborUCLA #wiSTEM

Drs. Michele Girardi and Asghar Abbasi (@Yashar_ABB) participated in a thematic poster session entitled "Investigations of Respiratory System Function in Health and Disease." Their contributions underscore our commitment to advancing medical science and improving health outcomes.

RRC at The American College of Sports Medicine #ACSM! Last June, 6 of our esteemed doctors headed to the beautiful city of Boston to present their groundbreaking research! Looks like they had a lot of fun 😉✈️🏙️ #MedicalResearch #HarborUCLA #Lundquist #COPD #Pulmonary #Boston

The 2024 Golden Future 50+ Senior Expo (Long Beach/South Bay Edition) is scheduled for THIS SATURDAY, AUGUST 10TH from 9am – 1:30pm inside the PCH Club’s Crystal Ballroom at The Golden Sails Hotel. Dr. Rossiter will be giving a talk at 11:40-12:00pm. We hope to see you there!
