Biography

My lab is interested in learning more about how protein homeostasis (also known as proteostasis) contributes to inflammatory and fibrotic lung disease. We believe that endoplasmic reticulum stress and the unfolded protein response contribute to the progression of these pathologies and that we will be able to slow down disease progression by modulating this fundamental and important stress respon My lab is interested in learning more about how protein homeostasis (also known as proteostasis) contributes to inflammatory and fibrotic lung disease.
