BREATHE CAG is a Clinical Academic Group (CAG) that brings together researchers and healthcare professionals from Central Norway to address key challenges in asthma and COPD. Our collaborative research aims to deepen understanding of these conditions, improve diagnostic methods, and optimize treatment strategies. By focusing on clinical outcomes and cost-effective interventions, we seek to enhance patient care while reducing the strain on healthcare systems.

We are anchored at the The Department of Respiratory Medicine at St. Olav's Hospital, and the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences at NTNU. Collaborating healthcare institutions in Helse Midt-Norge include Ålesund Hospital, Helse Møre og Romsdal, and Levanger Hospital, Helse Nord-Trøndelag.
