讲座内容:Lung Regeneration and Fibrosis

Pulmonary fibrosis is a devastating disease with failed lung repair and regeneration. Recent studies have provided new information about the mechanisms driving the adult respiratory system to undergo repair and to replace cells lost in response to injury and disease. This talk highlights the multiple stem/progenitor populations in different regions of the adult lung, the plasticity of their behavior in injury models, and molecular pathways that support homeostasis and repair.

主讲人介绍:

Dr. Ying Wei is currently Associate Professor in the Department of Medicine at University of California San Francisco. In the past twenty years Dr. Wei has been focused on mechanistic studies of cancer and fibrosis, especially pathways that relate to tissue remodeling of the lung. Dr. Wei has expanded her research to TGFbeta signaling, lung repair, and lung regeneration. She is also focused on seeking potential drugs to treat fibrosis and cancer by high throughput screening of small molecule libraries. Her current focus is to bring the lead anti-fibrotic small molecule inhibitors to the clinical arena. Dr. Wei has many publications on the prestigious journals that have made significant impacts on the understanding and treatment of malignant cancers and pulmonary fibrosis. Dr. Wei has successfully conducted numerous fruitful collaborative researches with many investigators from different institutions.
