Welcome to Copacetic
COPACETIC is an EU-funded, international and multicenter study that aims to elucidate the genetic basis of individual variance in the susceptibility for COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease). COPACETIC is an acronym for: COPD Pathology: Adressing Critical gaps, Early Treatment & diagnosis and Innovative Concepts.
This website provides background information about COPD and COPACETIC and a regular update about the progress and results of COPACETIC (e.g. see Latest news or Weblogs). Researchers involved in COPACETIC can add their profile to the website and can be found on the 'Researchers' page.
