Date : Wednesday, March 10, 2021
Time : 17h30-18h30 (French time)

Pr Kotton’s goal is advancing our understanding of lung development and disease with a focus on stem cell biology and gene therapy. He believes that novel treatments for many lung diseases will be realized based on a better understanding of how the lung develops as well as regenerates after lung injury. His laboratory has used iPSC to develop model genetic lung diseases and improve our understanding of developmental biology of the lung.

Pr Darrell N. Kotton is tenured Professor at Boston University and the David C. Seldin Professor in the Department of Medicine and in the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine. He is the founding Director of the Center for Regenerative Medicine of Boston University and Boston Medical Center.
Pr Kotton was awarded the Research Achievement Award from the American Thoracic Society in 2018.
