01 / ENDOTHELIUM
Pulmonary vascular repair
How endothelial cells rebuild vascular networks and recover function after lung injury.
REGENERATION · VASCULAR BIOLOGY · LUNG HEALTH
Understanding Lung Injury.
Reimagining Repair.
We explore how vascular, epithelial and immune cells work together to repair the injured lung—and how these discoveries may inspire regenerative therapies.

01 / OUR FOCUS
Science at the intersection of injury and regeneration
From pulmonary microvessels to alveolar stem cells, we investigate the cellular programs that determine whether lung tissue recovers.
02 / EPITHELIUM
Alveolar epithelial regeneration
Stem-cell plasticity, injury-associated niches and functional alveolar restoration.
03 / IMMUNITY
Immune–tissue crosstalk
How immune and stromal signals shape inflammation, repair and maladaptive remodeling.
02 / SELECTED WORK
Discoveries that drive our questions
Lead and corresponding-author contributions across vascular regeneration, immune signaling and targeted delivery.
03 / JOIN OUR LAB
Curious minds. Meaningful science.
We welcome motivated trainees and collaborators with an interest in lung biology, regeneration, imaging and multi-omics.
