معرفی
Dr. Asghar Abbasi is an Assistant Professor of Medicine at the David Geffen School of Medicine, University of California, Los Angeles, and an Investigator at the Lundquist Institute for Biomedical Innovation, Harbor-UCLA Medical Center. His interdisciplinary career bridges exercise physiology, immunology, and respiratory medicine to address chronic lung diseases through innovative therapeutic approaches.
Dr. Abbasi's academic journey includes:
- PhD in Exercise Immunology
- Postdoctoral training in Neuroimmunology at The Hertie Institute for Clinical Brain Research, University Hospital Tübingen
- Postdoctoral training in Neurobiology of Aging at MIND Institute, University of California, Irvine
- Postdoctoral training in Respiratory Medicine and Physiology at Lundquist Institute for Biomedical Innovation
His research program centers on the immunological mechanisms by which exercise improves outcomes in chronic respiratory conditions. With expertise spanning Exercise Rehabilitation, Pulmonary Immunology, and Extracellular Vesicles in Lung Disease, Dr. Abbasi investigates how physical activity modulates immune responses in COPD, Asthma, and long COVID. This work represents a novel intersection of exercise science and pulmonary medicine, with potential to develop non-pharmacological interventions for respiratory diseases. His unique training across neuroimmunology, aging research, and respiratory physiology enables innovative approaches to understanding exercise-induced immune modulation in the lung.
As an active investigator at the Lundquist Institute, Dr. Abbasi contributes to translational research within Harbor-UCLA Medical Center's academic ecosystem. His work connects basic immunological mechanisms with clinical applications for chronic lung disease management, positioning him at the forefront of exercise-based pulmonary therapeutics.
