Stunning science in a stunning location this week for @mucosal-asi.bsky.social, sharing the latest from our group using iPSCs to investigate immunity in the lung alveolus
Feeling energised to tackle the big problems in respiratory health after the annual TSANZ meeting in Adelaide š« Iām also incredibly grateful to receive the Cure4CF Career Development Award and the Chiesi Advancing Women in Respiratory Health Award.
Thumbs up for a fantastic year with this incredible team. Excited for even more lung fun in 2025 š«
