Luis M. Seijo
I am a clinical practitioner and researcher with extensive experience in respiratory medicine, endoscopy and lung cancer. I obtained my B.A. from Columbia College in 1990 and MD from the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine in 1995, followed by a PhD from the Universidad de Navarra in 2015. I trained in pulmonary medicine, critical care and internal medicine at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania and am currently active in various research projects including endoscopy, lung cancer screening with low dose CT, biomarkers of early stage lung cancer, artificial intelligence, metabolomics, and biomarkers in COPD, sleep disordered breathing, and lung cancer. I was principal investigator in two clinical studies linking sleep disordered breathing and lung cancer and recently received a grant from the instituto de salud Carlos III in order to continue investigating the links between nocturnal hypoxemia and lung cancer. I am also the principal investigator in Spain for a EU4Health grant as a member of the SOLACE lung cancer screening consortium and have received funding as a member of the SPACETIME consortium also funded by the EU. I am also active in research in radiomics applied to lung cancer and emphysema, as well as COVID 19 and participated in several clinical trials during the pandemic. I coordinated the CIBERES lung cancer research strategy from 2016 to 2018 in Spain and thoracic oncology for the Spanish thoracic society (SEPAR) between 2021 and 2023. I coordinated the year of early lung cancer detection for SEPAR between 2023 and 2024 hosting the first iberoamerican summit on lung cancer screening in Granada in 2023, the SOLACE 2024 consortium meeting and the first AGILE meeting in may of 2024. I am co-coordinator of the Spanish national lung cancer screening pilot known as CASSANDRA and principal investigator in Spain for the Pamplona iELCAP lung cancer screening investigator site. Finally, I am the current director of the pulmonary medicine department of the Clínica Universidad de Navarra and ERS representative in the European Cancer Organization.

Marieke Duiverman
Marieke Duiverman is pulmonologist at the University Medical Center Groningen, The Netherlands. She is one of the medical doctors of the Home Mechanical Ventilation Center Groningen, part of the department of pulmonary diseases of this hospital. Next to clinical work, Marieke educates medical students from the University Groningen and has a strong connection with the University Twente, one of the main technical universities, both for educational activities and research.
Marieke Duiverman has her main research interests in long-term respiratory and ventilatory assistance in severe COPD. She performed one of the first RCTs in stable COPD, comparing rehabilitation alone with the combination rehabilitation + nocturnal NIV in stable hypercapnic COPD. This was one of the first studies showing clear benefit of the addition of nocturnal NIV in this group. More recently, she performed a RCT in which we aimed to improve and facilitate the way patients are initiated on NIV; we investigated whether home initiation was non-inferior to the standard home initiation. This was the first randomised controlled trial showing that home initiation of chronic NIV in COPD patients with chronic hypercapnic respiratory failure is non-inferior to hospital initiation, and is associated with savings of over 50% of the costs. A second field of interest concerns nasal high flow therapy, in current COVID-19 times but also in the treatment of stable and post-exacerbation COPD. Marieke Duiverman is leader of a multicentre trial investigating this therapy in the post-exacerbation situation. Finally, Marieke has special interest in optimal but non-invasive and robust monitoring during long-term NIV and the application of more detailed monitoring facilities such as respiratory EMG, patient-ventilator asynchrony and lung mechanics during long-term NIV. Marieke has published 57 articles of the above mentioned topics in respiratory journals.
Marieke Duiverman is currently chair of the group 2.2 non-invasive ventilatory support of the assembly 2 respiratory intensive care. As such, in collaboration with many colleagues across and outside Europe she is chairing a clinical practice guideline on telemonitoring in HMV and a the recently granted clinical research collaboration “IMPORTANCE” aiming to develop an international collaboration and registry on sleep-disordered breathing and HMV.
