Seif Shaheen

Seif Shaheen is Clinical Professor of Respiratory Epidemiology in the Institute of Population Health Sciences, Barts and The London School of Medicine and Dentistry, Queen Mary University of London.

Seif’s programme of collaborative research aims to increase our understanding of how genes, lifestyle and environment act across the life course to cause asthma, impaired lung function and COPD, with a particular focus on the developmental origins of these disorders. The ultimate aim of his aetiological research is to identify causes which are amenable to intervention, so that preventive strategies can be devised to improve lung health.
