Talk Title: Long term consequences for lung immunity in acute and chronic inflammation

Short Summary : – Lung anatomy changes drastically in acute and chronic inflammation. To prevent long term consequences, these changes need to be sensed and then appropriately repaired. Pathways and mechanisms that pinpoint areas of lung damage and how they lead to a reparative program will be discussed. 

Date: Tuesday 16th March 2023

Talk Time: 16:00 – 17:00 UK time
