Lung Biology
Lung infection is a major cause of death for people of all ages, around the world. There is no therapy that can reverse the fatal lung injury caused by lung infection. Antibiotic drugs that target the injury-causing pathogens are increasingly hampered by pathogen drug resistance. New therapeutic approaches are critically needed. Dr. Hook’s Lung Imaging Lab aims to gain new understanding of lung biology that will lead to the development of new therapies for lung infection. Learn more about our research at the Hook Laboratory website.
