1/n Finally out! The "Pulmonary Fibrosis Stakeholder Summit: A Joint NHLBI, TLF, and PFF Workshop Report"! With discussions & recommendations for: - novel models & research tools - Early disease - Innovative clinical trial designs #CurePFWorkshop atsjournals.org/doi/abs/10.116…

New manuscript from our labs, collaboration with Alex Bick lab led by Brett Heimlich Pawan Bhat Alyssa Parker checkout the tweetorial 👇!

Excited to share our study characterizing eQTL at cell type resolution in human lung tissue is now published in Nature Genetics. nature.com/articles/s4158… This was a collaborative effort co led by @HeiniMNatri and Christina Azodi and co supervised by myself, jon kropski and @davisjmcc 1/2

As #ATS2024 ends, we’re excited to release our new tool, AlveolEye, a free app which uses machine learning to make lung morphometry rigorous and less time consuming – a tool made by two amazing students Sam and Joe Hirsh, and Shawyon Shirazi from the Sucre Lab Jen Srygley Sucre 🧵1/5

Delighted to share our new preprint on "Association between mosaic loss of chromosome Y and pulmonary fibrosis susceptibility and severity". A great collaborative effort from Niran Hadad Samuel Moss jon kropski Gisli Jenkins Nick Banovich Iain Stewart NHLI biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Most excited for Ana Vanderbilt MSTP !

The Center for Computational Systems Biology at Vanderbilt is conducting a search for junior faculty (s) in the field of computational biology. It is a great opportunity for young investigators to tap into relatively large human data resources here. nature.com/naturecareers/…

Really excited about the science these grants are enabling. Lucky to work with some of the best folks in science on these projects including the great jon kropski and Jen Srygley Sucre!

The Blue Journal thanks Margaret Salisbury, MD, MS, for her contribution to the December 15 issue Progressive Early Interstitial Lung Abnormalities in Persons at Risk for Familial Pulmonary Fibrosis: A Prospective Cohort Study atsjournals.org/doi/full/10.11…

Lung development in real time! 🫁 🕰️ Dr. Nick Negretti and colleagues used scanned oblique-plane illumination microscopy of living lung slices to observe #alveologenesis in real-time at high resolution over several days. Vanderbilt University Medical Center bit.ly/4fWCkGD

AND the most lung transplants we have ever done at Vandy - 99!!! Top 8 in volume with the second best 1-yr survival in the country. We got 99 problems but transplanting ain’t 1.

Excited to be part of this exciting initiative in systems biology, data science, and AI: news.vanderbilt.edu/2025/01/16/new…

the-asci.org/controllers/as… Congrats to Vanderbilt PSTP/Harrison Society alumni and @VUMC_Medicine faculty members David M. Patrick M.D., Ph.D. and J.P. Arroyo on this well-deserved honor from ASCI

The ASCI is proud to announce our 2025 Early-Career Awardees! Click here for the complete list of awardees: YPSA: buff.ly/3PELT2s E-Gen: buff.ly/4g3WJJU Congratulations to our awardees and to the institutions they represent!

🫁 Breaking new ground in #lung development research! Alveoli form through epithelial ballooning supported by mesenchymal rings—not just airspace subdivision. This discovery could revolutionize lung regeneration studies. doi.org/10.1172/jci.in…

Excited to share our recent work unraveling the effects of CCDC39/CCDC40 PCD variants on cilia. The result of years of work and collaborations of several members of the #washu ciliopathy group WashU Medicine lead by Susan Dutcher and Steven Brody science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

It’s my pleasure to announce our recent work published in Nature Genetics: “Spatial transcriptomics identifies molecular niche dysregulation associated with distal lung remodeling in pulmonary fibrosis” 1/14 nature.com/articles/s4158…

A great new report from the Frank Lab at CHOP. Single cell atlas of the co-development of the lung and heart through CPPs. #WhyWeScience! cell.com/cell-reports/f…
