RESEARCH SUMMARY

I am a cell and developmental biologist fascinated by endothelial cells, which line blood vessels in the lung. The goal of my research program is to understand how endothelial cells communicate with other lung cells to build complex three-dimensional structures during development and regeneration. Answering this question will help us determine how tissue structures are built and rebuilt and how this process can go wrong in the diseased or injured lung.
