Engineered models of disease
Animal models are inherently different from humans, in physiology, anatomy and biology, making them unsuitable for modeling human disease. Human in vitro models are better suited for studying disease and for pre-clinical drug testing. We are interested in developing new models for studying lung disease in the laboratory, specifically for Pulmonary fibrosis, Cystic Fibrosis and Asthma.
