We believe that the poorly understood pathogenesis of pulmonary fibrosis, in part due to the lack of reliable human disease models, has been a major hurdle in developing effective therapies. To tackle this, we use patient-derived pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) to study the role of alveolar epithelial cells in initiating and perpetuating the fibrotic cascade with a goal of developing effective mechanistic therapies.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Alysandratos Lab has openings for postdoctoral fellows <\/strong><span>\u2013 highly qualified applicants are encouraged to\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/sites.bu.edu\/alysandratoslab\/contact-us\/\">contact Dr. Alysandratos<\/a><span>\u00a0for more information.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/crem.bu.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/alysandratoslab\/files\/2023\/10\/lablogo-long.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"341\" height=\"107\" class=\"wp-image-120 alignleft\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/alysandratoslab\/files\/2023\/10\/CReMlogo-big.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"230\" height=\"136\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-121\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome to the Alysandratos Lab!
