University of Pennsylvania
Primary Research:
The Vaughan lab’s research is focused on defining and understanding the relevant cell types and molecular mechanisms by which the mammalian lung is able to regenerate after severe injury. We are especially interested in elucidating the means by which epithelial and endothelial progenitor cells contribute to the restoration of airway and alveolar units after viral pneumonia and acute respiratory distress syndrome.
