it is a known fact that African-Americans and other minorities have a higher rate of diabetes and other diseases.

Understanding this has a lot of implications for treatment. They are being treated by current guidelines but still aren't better. Either the guidelines are wrong or it's the wrong therapy for those patients. That's why we're doing this research, to find answers.

We want to use science to guide our therapy for these patients.

We want to understand what is wrong in patients with severe asthma and apply what we learn to help them.

Anytime you make a shift people have to struggle until they become accustomed to it. They didn't have a chance to plan for this.

In these early years, if we keep the Reserve Fund and use that it shouldn't affect our budget. It eventually will if we don't wean ourselves.

The long-term goal is to develop new ways to evaluate a patient's asthma to allow us to design individualized therapy for that patient based on the type of inflammation in their lungs or the genes they have. We are a long way from being there, but this research is a start.
