Chronic lung diseases, particularly chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma, are a significant public health problem globally.
Dr Bui’s research focuses on the natural history, lifetime risk factors and long-term outcomes of these diseases. He has developed lifetime lung function trajectories for the general population and identified novel trajectories that can lead to COPD. He has also identified new factors that may cause COPD and asthma. His research has been published in leading journals including the Lancet and Lancet Respiratory Medicine. He is currently investigating biomarkers that can be used to predict COPD in its early stage called pre-COPD.
