Action plan

LUNG O₂ action plan is divided into 5 main activities commonly called « Work Package » (WP), described below.

WP1 defines the bodies responsible for monitoring and ensuring the proper implementation of LUNG O₂‘s action plan.

WP2 entitled « Integrative respiratory research from bench to home » will allow creating an integrative research cluster from basic research and fundamental models to real life cohorts considering patients in their daily environment.

WP3 « Innovation in clinical respiratory research » will consider new challenges arisen with precision medicine in clinical research: accuracy of new drug targets in terms of molecules but also populations; patient’s education and participation in decisions; sex and gender equity in precision medicine.

WP4 « LUNG O2 Educational program » will organize local training courses dedicated to precision medicine in lung diseases and facilitate/encourage the attendance of international courses. This WP will focus on attraction and education of students and also on new training tasks emerged from precision medicine requirements: advanced practice nurses and patients experts.

WP5 « LUNG O₂ international ambition » aims to promote Nantes respiratory research worldwide. LUNG O₂ will develop international partnerships on respiratory diseases (integration into networks and influence groups, identification of strategic partners) by encouraging mobility of its participants and by inviting international specialists with a dedicated budget for travel expenses. Lung O₂ will thus reinforce the attractiveness and leadership of Nantes in the field of lung diseases for high-level researchers, scientific and medical students.
