Rheumatology: Current Research
Open Access

Dr Deborah Assayag is working as a researcher in McGill, Canada. Her research focuses on interstitial lung diseases (ILD), a group of progressive, devastating lung diseases characterized by inflammation and scarring (fibrosis) of the lung tissue. The burden of disease is heavy: idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, the most devastating form of ILD, has a median survival of only three to five years.
