Emka & SCIREQ hosted a free in-person panel discussion on May 17th from 7:00 to 8:30am PST. The event was held at the Clift Royal Sonesta Hotel in the Applegarth room.
Experts at the forefront of pulmonary fibrosis research discussed Modelling Fibrotic Lung Diseases. We hoped to shed light on:

Dr. Redente’s lab focuses on the interactions between TNF-α, macrophages and myofibroblasts and their role in the resolution of established pulmonary fibrosis with the goal to investigate the mechanisms by which TNF-α resolves fibrosis as the basis for the translational application of this work as a potential therapeutic. Learn more about Dr. Redente here.
Dr. Le Saux studies how senescent cells regulate fibrogenesis and its resolution. Switching their secretory phenotype factors expression over time, dynamic changes in the secretory phenotype from profibrotic to pro-resolution occurs in skin but not in lungs. Learn more about her lab here.
The measurement of lung function is Dr Robichaud’s main area of interest. Throughout the years, she has acquired extensive experience and scientific expertise in this field. Her focus is to empower scientists to generate sound and reproducible research through the development of sophisticated instruments, automated processes, and innovative techniques.
