Our Pulmonary Research comprises a group of world-class researchers and up-and-coming investigators whose combined interests span multiple disciplines. Our unified goal is to understand the underlying mechanisms that cause various lung diseases and ultimately translate those findings to improving patient health. In particular; our group has expertise in both basic and translational research on interstitial lung diseases, such as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, acute lung injury, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), lung transplantation and bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS), and lung infection, among others.

The research community at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center is highly collaborative and interactive with a growing research enterprise that includes top researchers in a variety of scientific areas. The Academic Affairs office provides annual lecture series on various topics such as faculty development, grantsmanship, careers in biotech, and alternative career choices in science. We are also part of the CTSI with UCLA, which provides access to various career and educational services offered as part of the partnership. Our Lung Institute is comprised of several top researchers that have vibrant research programs in lung injury, fibrosis, infection, regeneration, and immunology.
