Brief description The discovery of stem cells has changed our understanding and approach to treating chronic diseases. Unlike other organs, the stem cells that maintain and repair the lung remain poorly characterised. I have recently identified a gene that labels a population of cells which contribute to epithelial repopulation of the lung. This project aims to characterise how this population behaves during lung homeostasis and following lung injury, with a view to translating these findings to the clinic.
