Our lab is actually four laboratories headed by four Principle Investigators whose research areas are summarized below. We utilize both in vivo and in vitro models to study clinically relevant issues in Thoracic & Cardiovascular Surgery with a focus on post-transplant lung injury, rejection and aortic aneurysm formation.
