Angela Wang, MD is a Clinical Professor of Medicine at the University of California, San Diego, gives back to the pulmonary community in many ways, including her generous support of the ATS.

“The ATS Research Program provides a wonderful way to pay back for my fellowship training experience by investing in the early-career development of people carefully selected for their promise by the ATS” – John H. Hansen-Flaschen, MD, ATSF

"NIH dollars continue to shrink. The ATS Research funds are critical to helping ensure that the next generation of lung researchers develops and thrives to continue to improve the health of our patients with lung disease" – Sally Wenzel, MD

"A central passion of mine is the support of physician-scientists. Many young investigators are struggling in the midst of a sustained federal government/NIH recession. The ATS Research Program supports research in lung diseases, and I think it’s really critical that organizations like ATS step into that breach." – Mark Gladwin, MD

Nizar Jarjour, MD, is a professor of medicine and head of the Division of Allergy, Pulmonary & Critical Care Medicine at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and an expert in allergic inflammation and asthma. He considers ATS to be a “great scientific home for my research” and is one of the ATS’s earliest supporters.
