Cipla Limited today announced the launch of a first-of-its-kind Sputum Inflammometry Lab at the Breathefree Lung Wellness Center (BLWC) in Mumbai, marking the advancement of precision respiratory diagnostics and integrated respiratory care in the country.
The lab was inaugurated by Dr. Parameswaran Nair, globally recognised as one of the pioneers and leading experts in the field of Sputum Inflammometry. The inauguration took place in the presence of 15 eminent pulmonologists and respiratory experts from leading institutes across India.
Sputum inflammometry is an advanced diagnostic approach that assesses airway inflammation in patients with chronic respiratory conditions such as severe asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and bronchiectasis. By analyzing inflammatory cells and biomarkers in sputum samples, it enables more accurate diagnosis, personalised treatment, and better disease monitoring. Integrated within the Breathefree Lung Wellness Center, the lab will also support clinician training, respiratory research, and scientific collaboration on sputum inflammometry in India.
Speaking on the occasion, Dr Jaideep Gogtay, Global Chief Medical Officer, Cipla Limited said, “Chronic respiratory diseases are increasingly complex and heterogeneous in nature, making accurate assessment of airway inflammation critical for optimal disease management. Sputum Inflammometry has transformed the understanding and management of airway diseases globally by enabling clinicians to identify specific inflammatory phenotypes and tailor therapy accordingly. This advanced capability can now play an important role in improving respiratory care and advancing clinical research in India.”
The Breathefree Lung Wellness Center (BLWC) is Cipla’s integrated, one-stop destination for advanced lung health diagnostics and care, combining cutting-edge technology, globally recognised protocols, and specialised clinical expertise to enable early and accurate detection of respiratory diseases. With the launch of the Sputum Inflammometry Lab, BLWC Mumbai further strengthens its capabilities, reinforcing Cipla’s commitment to comprehensive respiratory care through its flagship centres in Mumbai and Delhi.
