My lab primarily focuses on the use of three-dimensional lung organoid systems from murine and human adult somatic stem cells and human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) to model lung development and disease. Our research goal is to dissect the cellular and molecular crosstalk between lung epithelium and immune cells occurring during lung development, infection, injury and repair; especially, our lab aims at identifying the microenvironmental factors that determine macrophage phenotype during alveolar niche development and replenishment after injury.
