The Division of Pulmonary, Critical Care, and Sleep Medicine at the University of California San Diego has a long history of performing innovative basic, translational, and clinical research. Our physician-scientists are committed to advancing patent care in pulmonary diseases through groundbreaking studies. Our division integrates high-quality patient care with scientific discovery to gain insight into the disease processes and to provide life-changing therapies. Through these efforts, our patients can participate in investigational clinical trials that examine the understanding of these illnesses and gain access to promising new treatment approaches for a variety of pulmonary conditions.
