My previous research experience was in pulmonary immunology, focused on alveolar macrophages. I participated in projects studying the role of tissue-resident and monocyte-derived macrophages in pulmonary fibrosis, CLAD, scleroderma, and pneumonia. My other research was on researching origin of two groups of spleenic macrophages - MMM and MZM.
