The London Respiratory Muscle Group is a collaboration between scientists and clinicians working in the field of respiratory physiology and skeletal muscle function in health and disease. It has been producing research for more than 25 years and has weekly meetings rotating through the main research centres.
Current areas of interest include skeletal muscle dysfunction in COPD, physical activity monitoring, sleep disordered breathing and neural drive, home mechanical ventilation and novel bronchoscopic lung volume reduction techniques for emphysema.
The group are part of the PROactive collaboration an EU project developing a patient reported outcome for Physical Activity in COPD.
Research in our group has been sponsored by grants from sources including The MRC, The Wellcome Trust, The British Lung Foundation, the NIHR and The Moulton Charitable Foundation.
