Dr. Dasenbrook has taken the skills he has learned in the care of cystic fibrosis lung disease and applied it to individuals with bronchiectasis and pulmonary nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) infectious such as Mycobacteriumavium complex (MAC) and Mycobacterium abscessus. The focus in this clinic is diagnosing the underlying cause of bronchiectasis (such as primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD)) and expert management of bronchiectasis lung disease.

The goal of the clinic is to improve patient day to day quality of life through reduction of daily cough, mucus production,and number of respiratory exacerbations. To achieve these goals, the Bronchiectasis team at the Cleveland Clinic hasadvanced knowledge in airway clearance techniques and devices, inhaled medications to treat airway infections, and treatment of airway inflammation. For patients who have NTM, Dr. Dasenbrook collaborates with his colleagues from Infectious Disease who also specialize intreatment of pulmonary NTM. In addition to clinical care, Dr. Dasenbrook is active in research for non-CF bronchiectasis.

Industry Relationships

Industry Relationships

Cleveland Clinic physicians and scientists may collaborate with the pharmaceutical or medical device industries to help develop medical breakthroughs or provide medical expertise or education. Cleveland Clinic strives to make scientific advances that will benefit patient care and support outside relationships that promise public benefit. In order for the discoveries of Cleveland Clinic physicians' and scientists' laboratories and investigations to benefit the public, these discoveries must be commercialized in partnership with industry. As experts in their fields, Cleveland Clinic physicians and scientists are often sought after by industry to consult, provide expertise and education.

To assure professional and commercial integrity in such matters, Cleveland Clinic maintains a program that reviews these collaborations and, when appropriate, puts measures in place to minimize bias that may result from ties to industry. Cleveland Clinic publicly discloses the names of companies when (i) its physicians/scientists receive $5,000 or more per year (or, in rare cases, equity or stock options) for speaking and consulting, (ii) its physicians/scientists serve as a fiduciary, (iii) its physicians/scientists receive or have the right to receive royalties or (iv) its physicians/ scientists hold any equity interest for the physician's/scientist's role as inventor, discoverer, developer, founder or consultant.* In publicly disclosing this information, Cleveland Clinic tries to provide information as accurately as possible about its physicians' and scientists' connections with industry.

Cleveland Clinic scientists and physicians engage in basic, translational and clinical research activities, working to solve health problems, enhance patient care and improve quality of life for patients.
