Our lab's newest preprint is out now! We report that airway injury can trigger changes in distant areas of the lungs that were not previously appreciated. We dove into the amazing field of macrophage biology to explain these responses. Check out our story: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Our phenomenal lab manager is moving on after 3 great years 😭 We are looking for someone to fill the gap. Great for a graduating senior who wants ~2 years experience before grad school
