James D Chalmers: asthma, bronchiectasis and COPD 'coming together' at GOLD2026
The Oxford professor and European Respiratory Journal chief editor described an 'ABC team' of asthma, bronchiectasis and COPD in a post on X, naming colleagues linked to GOLD, GINA and EMBARC.
“Asthma, bronchiectasis and COPD coming together at GOLD2026”— James D Chalmers
James D Chalmers, Rhodes Chair of Experimental Therapeutics at the University of Oxford, wrote on X that asthma, bronchiectasis and COPD were "coming together at GOLD2026". Chalmers is Chief Editor of the European Respiratory Journal and says he posts in a personal capacity.
He framed the grouping as the "ABC team", a play on the phrase "the A team", opening the post with the lines: "You've heard of the A team. How about the ABC team??"
Chalmers named three collaborators, whom he described as his friends. They were Alvar Agusti, identified with GOLD; Guy Brusselle, identified with GINA; and the EMBARC network.
The post gave no further detail on what was planned or discussed at GOLD2026.
