Our lab's newest preprint is out now! We report that airway injury can trigger changes in distant areas of the lungs that were not previously appreciated. We dove into the amazing field of macrophage biology to explain these responses. Check out our story: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Airway injury induces alveolar epithelial and mesenchymal responses mediated by macrophages

Acute injury in the airways or the lung activates local progenitors and stimulates changes in cell-cell interactions to restore homeostasis, but it is not appreciated how more distant niches are...

My final paper at @BCHStemCell @harvardmed @Carlakimlab merges cancer, inflammation and cell plasticity - we identified an injury/plastic state as essential for lung repair that is co-opted by early-stage LUAD! Exciting to see similar findings from @humam_kadara et al. in Nature

Excited to share our new manuscript @BCHStemCell @harvardmed in which we show a transcriptional plasticity state previously described in lung repair is co-opted by early-stage lung cancer. Beautiful similar findings from @humam_kadara et al. in Nature. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Early-stage lung adenocarcinoma is driven by an injury-associated, plastic cell state dependent on...

Glycine 12 mutations in the GTPase KRAS (KRASG12) are a known initiating event for lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) with broad clinical relevance. KRASG12 mutations promote cell-intrinsic rewiring of the...

COPD is the 3rd leading cause of death in the world & yet not much is known about it. I'm the co-director for the Lung Regeneration Consortium funded by @Longfonds Stiching. Our group focuses on better understanding the mechanisms of COPD & working toward clinical solutions.
