Our missions

IHU RespirERA is committed to five key missions to explore the impact of aging and the environment on respiratory health, placing the patient at the heart of its projects.
Understand

the mechanisms of respiratory diseases to better address them.

Prevent

by identifying environmental risk factors and developing effective prevention strategies.

Treat

by creating personalized treatments tailored to each patient’s specific needs.

Innovate

by integrating new technologies, including artificial intelligence and robotics, to enhance diagnosis and care.

Educate & Train

healthcare professionals and the general public on emerging technologies and best practices.

Our strategy

IHU RespirERA is built on a synergy between researchers, clinicians, patient associations, and industry partners, fostering effective collaboration to understand and treat respiratory diseases. This holistic approach considers all aspects of these pathologies, from biological factors to environmental impacts, to develop comprehensive and innovative solutions. The Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region, significantly affected by pollution and an aging population, serves as our "living laboratory", enabling us to develop real-world solutions tailored to environmental and health challenges.
