Tenured Associate Professor Department of Medicine Division of Pulmonary, Allergy, and Critical Care Medicine Director program in lung development and regeneration.
I have been studying lung injury and repair for over 15 years.
My lab seeks to clarify the mechanistic basis of bidirectional signaling between lung stem cells and their niche which informs lung stem cell fate decisions, including choices between quiescence or proliferation, self-renewal or differentiation, migration or retention and cell death or survival. As such we have studied several viral injury models of the lung such as caused by respiratory syncytial virus and Influenza A.
