My group is currently investigating the aberrant fate of lung stem cells in COPD that leads to emphysema progression and impaired lung tissue repair. This includes profiling of extracellular vesicles (EVs) obtained from bronchoalveolar lavage and (mesenchymal) lung stem cells from patients with COPD using advanced proteomics and RNAseq.
