Presenter: 
Dr. David Feller-Kopman is chief of the Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center and a professor of medicine at the Dartmouth University’s Geisel School of Medicine in Hanover, N.H. His areas of clinical expertise include all aspects of interventional pulmonology, including minimal invasive diagnostic procedures to evaluate suspicious lung nodules and enlarged lymph nodes in the chest as well as the evaluation and management of malignant and non-malignant central airway obstruction. In addition, he specializes in evaluation and management of pleural diseases with minimally invasive procedures such as ultrasound guided thoracentesis, indwelling pleural catheters and thoracoscopy with pleurodesis. He is a fellow of the American College of Chest Physicians and a member of the American Thoracic Society, American Association for Bronchology and Interventional Pulmonology and Miller-Coulson Academy of Clinical Excellence at Johns Hopkins.

He has published more than 250 peer-reviewed manuscripts as well as over 30 book chapters, and has co-edited four textbooks. His research focuses on the physiology of the pleural space and minimally invasive treatment of patients with malignant pleural effusion. He co-founded the Interventional Pulmonary Outcomes Group (IPOG) whose mission is to provide and support multicenter prospective trials in the interventional pulmonary space. He’s also involved with several projects investigating minimally invasive ways to diagnose and treat lung cancer. His goal is to advance the science of interventional pulmonology to improve the quality of life of patients with malignant pleural effusions and central airway obstruction as well as to develop new strategies to diagnosis and treat lung cancer.
