Nicola A Hanania, MD, MS, FCCP, is Associate Professor of Medicine in the Section of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine, and Director of the Asthma and COPD Clinical Research Center at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, TX. He completed his medical training at the University of Jordan followed by a residency in Internal Medicine and fellowship in Pulmonary Medicine at the University of Toronto, Canada. Dr Hanania subsequently completed a fellowship in Critical Care Medicine at Baylor College of Medicine, where he later earned a master's degree in clinical investigation. His research interests focus on the pharmacology and management of asthma and COPD. Dr Hanania has authored more than 200 peer-reviewed papers, book chapters, editorials, and reviews on these topics. He is Principal Investigator for the American Lung Association Airway Clinical Research Center at Baylor College of Medicine as well as Principal Investigator or Co-Investigator in several clinical trials in asthma and COPD. As a Fellow of the American College of Chest Physicians (ACCP), he has served on the Board of Regents and as Chair of the Pulmonary, Airways Networks and Council of Networks. He is a member of the Health Policy Committee of the American Thoracic Society, European Respiratory Society, and Society of Critical Care Medicine. Dr Hanania has received multiple awards including the ACCP's Distinguished Scholar in Respiratory Health, ACCP Humanitarian Award, Career Investigator Award (K23) from the NIH, Fulbright and Jaworski's Faculty Excellence Award for Teaching and Evaluation, and the Award for Excellence in Teaching from the Department of Medicine at Baylor.

Reynold A. Panettieri, Jr, MD, the inaugural Director of the Institute for Translational Medicine and Science and Vice Chancellor for Translational Medicine and Science at Rutgers University, previously served as the Director of the Airways Biology Initiative at the University of Pennsylvania. His interests include the cellular and molecular mechanisms that regulate airway smooth muscle cell growth and the immunobiology of airway smooth muscle. Consequences of increases in airway smooth muscle growth promote the development of irreversible airflow obstruction and airway remodeling seen in patients with chronic severe asthma. Dr. Panettieri’s lab also focuses on cytosolic signaling pathways that mediate gene expression and alter myocyte growth.

Dr. Panettieri also served as the Deputy Director of the Center of Excellence in Environmental Toxicology at the University of Pennsylvania. He directed the human exposure chamber that defines the molecular mechanisms regulating ozone- and particulate matter-induced airway hyperresponsiveness. In addition to his research and clinical interests, Dr. Panettieri served as chairperson of the NIH Lung Cellular, Molecular, and Immunobiology Study Section, is a member of the NIH Distinguished Editorial Panel, and is a member of the American Society for Clinical Investigation and Association of American Physicians.
 

1. Describe the role of Type 2 inflammation in asthma pathophysiology and the phenotypic and endotypic characterization of asthma with Type 2 inflammation.
2. Review the mechanism of action, efficacy, and safety of targeted agents approved for the management of severe, uncontrolled asthma with Type 2 inflammation and those in late-stage development.
3. Incorporate agents targeted at Type 2 inflammation into the management of appropriate patients with severe, uncontrolled asthma not responding to ICS and bronchodilator therapy.
