The research area of lung focuses on studying the structure, function, diseases, and therapies related to the lungs. This field encompasses a wide range of topics including respiratory physiology, lung development, pulmonary diseases (such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and lung cancer), imaging techniques for diagnosing lung conditions, and treatment strategies for various lung disorders. Researchers in this area may use a variety of methods such as clinical studies, animal models, and molecular biology techniques to further our understanding of the lungs and improve the care and treatment of patients with lung diseases.
