Networking GroupsNetworking groups represent an important part of ISAM to enable interaction between members and make the society living and active. Listed below are the seven networking groups and their chairs. ISAM Networking groups are managed by our Networking Chairs and limited to ISAM Members assigned to the specific Networking Group. Join ISAM and connect to the Networking Chairs to join the specific Networking Groups.  Networking Group: New Devices, Emerging Therapies and e-HealthOur group offers a platform for experts in New Devices, Emerging Therapies and e-Health. Our interdisciplinary group includes international leading scientists in inhaled drug-device combination product development. We cover and foster
science in Aerosol drug delivery devices (ADDD) as pressurised Metered-Dose-Inhalers (pMDI), Dry-Powder-Inhalers (DPI), nebulizers using jet, vibrating mesh or soft-mist technologies, new developments of Orally Inhaled and Nasal Drug
Products (OINDP) and e-Health solution using connected device or digital technologies. Chairs:

 Networking Group: Formulation of OINDPWe focus on formulation for orally inhaled and nasal drug products (OINDP), including dry powders, liquids for nebulizers and metered-dose inhalers, and nasal sprays. We exchange insights on formulation strategies, development challenges, and regulatory considerations with leading experts. Topics include excipient selection, stability, aerosol performance, and device compatibility to advance effective and patient-friendly OINDP therapies. Chairs:
 Networking Group: Clinical Pulmonary ScienceThis group connects clinicians, researchers, and industry experts to advance aerosol-based therapeutics guided by current clinical practice and emerging patient needs. We focus on translating clinical insights into novel inhaled treatments for conditions such as asthma, bronchiectasis, cystic fibrosis, non-tuberculous mycobacterial disease, and tuberculosis. Key topics include optimizing drug delivery strategies, improving patient adherence, developing less- and non-invasive approaches, and integrating personalized medicine into pulmonary care. Chair:

 Networking Group: Imaging, Modeling, and Physiology of Aerosols in the LungIn our group we cover pre-clinical models of aerosol drug deposition and efficacy, including in vivo and in-silico models of dosing, pharmacokinetics and therapeutic effects, clinical studies of deposited aerosol dose using scintigraphy techniques. Imaging techniques for quantifying lung physiology or evaluating therapeutic effect will also be included. Chairs:
 Networking Group: Environmental/Occupational - Health/ToxicologyThe Environmental/Occupational Health/Toxicology Networking Group challenges engineers, scientists, and clinicians to come together to promote aspects of aerosol research, involving the health effects of inhaled therapeutical, environmental and occupational aerosols. Our group aims to advance the knowledge on in vitro testing models and aerosol exposure - either from environmental sources or for medicinal purposes – its fate and its impact on pulmonary health. To do so, we foster discussion among academic, clinical and industrial members, and thereby promote education in the area of pulmonary medicine. Chairs:
 Networking Group: Regulatory and Standardization IssuesWelcome to the Regulatory and Standardization Networking Group page! Our group focuses on regulatory and standardization issues for healthcare professionals, as well as guidance and policies to accelerate the development and approval of orally inhaled or intranasally delivered therapeutics. Chairs:
 Networking Group: Women in Aerosol ResearchWomen’s Networking group engages in activities to increase the engagement and retention of women within ISAM, highlight contributions of women in the field, provide networking means for women in ISAM to use each other as resources, enhance leadership and career development opportunities for women, develop and/or distribute resources on subjects pertaining to women in ISAM, and mobilize ISAM to meet the needs of existing and potential female members of ISAM. Chairs:
 Networking Group: Young Investigator - Early CareerISAM Young Investigator and Early Careers Networking Group support young group leaders and scientists working in aerosol medicine. With our educational programs and our unique network, we want to promote the early careers of our young ISAM members and give them a platform to connect to other young investigators. Chairs:
