Each biennial meeting of the PHA International PH Conference and Scientific Sessions includes a Research Room where researchers further their studies by collecting data, including biological specimens (cheek swabs and blood samples) from pulmonary hypertension (PH) patients. The Research Room gives researchers a rare opportunity to collect data from the largest gathering of PH patients in the world at any given time. The work conducted in the Research Room has made a difference in the study of pulmonary hypertension.
Medical professionals, patients and healthy controls!
Nearly 70 patients participated in the first Research Room in 1994 in Stone Mountain, Georgia. In 2018, 10 research teams and more than 200 attendees participated.
