Specializations

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease and Type 2 inflammation

Lidiya Nikolcheva-Todorova’s clinical research is strongly centered on chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, including persistent symptoms, exacerbation control, and long-term disease management in patients with inflammatory airway disease.

  • COPD symptom control
  • Exacerbation prevention
  • Type 2 inflammatory pathways
  • Long-term respiratory safety

Her work also includes interest in advanced inhaled and biologic approaches for chronic airway disease, with attention to both functional outcomes and sustained tolerability.

Severe Asthma and Eosinophilic Airway Disease

Her trial activity includes asthma with a particular focus on severe eosinophilic asthma, where treatment goals center on reducing exacerbations and improving daily respiratory stability.

  • Severe asthma exacerbations
  • Eosinophilic airway inflammation
  • Maintenance inhaled therapy
  • Biologic treatment in asthma

Her clinical interests extend to therapies used alongside standard inhaled regimens, reflecting involvement in both symptom relief and longer-term asthma control.

Influenza and Respiratory Virus Prevention

Another major area of activity is influenza, including vaccine-based prevention, antiviral susceptibility, and protection against seasonal disease in older adults and other at-risk populations.

  • Influenza vaccination
  • Seasonal influenza A and B
  • Antiviral resistance
  • Immunogenicity in older adults

Her research landscape also covers broader respiratory virus prevention, with emphasis on reducing illness burden through immunisation and antiviral strategies.

COVID-19 and Severe Viral Lung Infections

Her portfolio includes studies in SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) infection and severe viral lung infections, particularly in patients with significant respiratory compromise.

  • Hospitalized viral pneumonia
  • Supplemental oxygen requirement
  • Progression of viral respiratory disease
  • COVID-19 treatment

This area reflects clinical involvement in therapies aimed at preventing deterioration in acute viral lung disease and supporting respiratory recovery.

Inflammation-Modulating Respiratory Therapies

Lidiya Nikolcheva-Todorova is also involved in research on emerging respiratory treatments targeting inflammatory control across obstructive lung disease and acute viral illness.

  • Biologic therapy in airway disease
  • Add-on treatment for obstructive lung disease
  • Anti-inflammatory respiratory treatment
  • Long-term treatment tolerability

Her clinical trial activity spans both chronic and acute respiratory settings, with interest in therapies designed to modify inflammatory burden and improve respiratory outcomes.
