                            | Description of Research: | overall, our lab seeks to 1) understand the basic mechanisms of the injury-repair process and why they become dysregulated in aging, and 2) developing novel therapeutics that target age-related pathology. | 
                          
                            | Relevance to VA: | Understanding age-dependent pathological mechanisms that lead to lung diseases, which primarily afflict the elderly VA population |
