approved drugs can slow down the decline in lung function, there is a lack of means to halt or reverse the oftentimes deadly disease. An improved understanding of the pathogenesis of pulmonary fibrosis and its underlying cellular and molecular mechanisms is therefore needed for the development of…

We want to understand the circumstances that impair pulmonary inflammation in a way to cause a long-term damage of the lung. Our goals are therapeutic nanoparticles for pulmonary application and the respiratory safety of engineered nanoparticles. We want to understand the circumstances that impair…
