Our research is focused on the pathogenesis on the fatal and untreatable disorder of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. The general approach we adopt is to investigate pulmonary fibrosis at the molecular level, in cells and animal models, and to validate the newly-discovered pathways using patient samples
