Research Seminar: “Mechanisms of Lung-Associated Congenital Disorders: Surprises from Mouse Models”

Speaker: Xin Sun, PhD, Professor, Department of Pediatrics, University of California, San Diego School of Medicine
Talk Summary: The building of a functional lung requires elaborate collaboration between cell types that give rise to the lung, as well as those in surrounding organs. We take a genetic approach to generate mouse models of lung associated pediatric diseases such as congenital diaphragmatic hernia. Findings from these models reveal unexpected disease mechanisms as well as novel insights in basic biology.
