Speaker: Dr. Stephen Juvet
The focus of Mark’s research is to study the role of tissue resident memory T cells (TRM) in immunopathology of the lung, primarily focusing on chronic lung allograft dysfunction and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. Mark’s laboratory uses a variety of techniques including translational systems immunology, murine models of orthotopic lung transplantation, and ex-vivo lung perfusion. The primary goal of his work is to develop novel therapeutic strategies to target pathogenic TRM.
