Research Synopsis:
| The Goldenberg laboratory studies immune dysfunction in the lung vasculature, focusing primarily on pulmonary arterial hypertension. The lab uses cell culture, animal models, and patient-derived samples to study the importance of the immune system in the development of this disease, with an eye toward designing new treatments for this devastating condition. To this end, they focus our studies on cell death, inflammation, and the role of endothelial cells and vascular smooth muscle cells in the development of pulmonary hypertension. |
