If 400m+ people live with COPD, why aren’t we talking about it?
In the second Behind the Science episode, Dr. Kat Arney speaks with Professor Dave Singh, a specialist in respiratory pharmacology at the University of Manchester, and Dr. Kaivan Khavandi, SVP and Global Head of Respiratory, Immunology and Inflammation Research at GSK, to take a closer look at a disease that affects a fundamental part of life – breathing. Together they explore COPD, unpacking how it affects everyday life and why severe exacerbations, or attacks, can have such serious consequences.
