Winter Lung Series Conference

TOPIC: "The Role of Macrophage Ontogeny in the Age Related Susceptibility to Lung Disease"
SPEAKER: G.R. Scott Budinger, MD, Chief, Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care, Northwestern Memorial Hospital (and Prentice Women's Hospital), Chicago

Dr. Budinger is the Chief and the Ernest S. Bazley Professor of Airway Diseases of the Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine at the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. Dr. Budinger is a leading investigator in lung disease, and is internationally recognized for his research examining the mechanisms by which environmental stresses activate signaling pathways in resident lung cells that induce lung injury in fibrosis. His recent work aims to understand how these responses change with aging to increase the risk of acute and chronic lung disease. 

The Winter Lung Series Conferences (WLSC), held in conjunction with the UA Health Sciences Asthma and Airway Disease Research Center and UA BIO5 Institute, brings in nationally and internationally renowned physician-scientists to discuss the latest research in various fields of pulmonary medicine and share those emerging ideas and clinical advances with our faculty, fellows and residents in training at the UA Health Sciences colleges, as well as community physicians.
