Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Vaudois

Lausanne University Hospital (CHUV) is one of the five university hospitals in Switzerland, with Geneva, Bern, Basel and Zurich. With its 17 clinical and medico-technical departments and their numerous services, the CHUV is renowned for its academic achievements in health care, research, and teaching.

The CHUV is also a well-known center of medical education and research thanks to its collaboration with the Faculty of Biology and Medicine of the University of Lausanne and the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL). Together, these institutions form a vast campus in the Lake Geneva region.

CHUV leads the Swiss Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) Cohort and coordinates the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF)-funded project focused on the characterization of fibrotic ILD (PRISM-fILD). Its key strengths include respiratory medicine, advanced clinical care, biomedical research, medical imaging, and data-driven innovation, all highly relevant to the AIRIS project.
