Abstract

This review presents the inaugural report of the British Thoracic Society Winter Scientific Meeting held from 1st–3rd December 2010. Although a wide spectrum of respiratory research was presented at the meeting the content of the review focuses specifically on three key themes of inflammation and lung injury, airways disease and respiratory infection. Advances in both clinical and translational respiratory research presented within the major symposia and spoken sessions related to these themes are summarised.
