My name is Atefeh Mohammadi, I am a second year MSc student under the supervision of Dr. Estelle Gauda at the University of Toronto Department of Laboratory Medicine and Pathobiology. We study lung disease in preterm infants, with a focus in bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). We explore various promising therapies with the aim of finding a therapeutic agent that can improve lung injury during early development. My work focuses specifically on the alveolar Type 1 epithelial cells that line the alveoli.
