Specialized doctors worldwide

Who conducts research on pulmonary fibrosis (IPF)? Everyone listed here comes from a public registry: either as principal investigator of a study at ClinicalTrials.gov, or as last author of publications in PubMed. These are two different things, so we list them side by side in two separate lists rather than combining them into a single figure.

This is not a referral and not a judgment on care. We know nothing about how these people treat, whether they accept patients, or how to reach them. We do not display contact details. If you want a second opinion or a referral, go through your own specialist.
