Delighted to announce a new R01 award, "Developing Lithium as a Disease Modifying Therapy for Emphysema Using a Precision Medicine Approach." The objective is to advance lithium from ex vivo and observational human studies to clinical trials for emphysema.


Latest paper from our lab: we identify FBXO24 as the E3 ligase that regulates FoxP1 protein levels in the lung and heart. Implications for #COPD, #HeartFailure, and #Atherosclerosis. Read: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… #bioRxiv #FoxP1 #Ubiquitin #LungBiology #PulmonaryResearch

Honored to join the American Lung Association this weekend, speak with patients and families, and kick off the ALA Lung Force Walk with @FrankS1956 and Riyue Bao. Huge turnout — and proud to be an ALA-funded investigator!
