Bronchiectasis

Specialized doctors worldwide

Who leads the research on bronchiectasis? Everyone here comes from a public register: as principal investigator of a study at ClinicalTrials.gov, or as last author of publications in PubMed. Those are two different things, so we list them in two columns side by side instead of merging them into one number.
