Carla Kim Lab

Please join us in congratulating our wonderful graduate student Irene Wong, who successfully defended her PhD thesis last week. We are so proud of you, Irene! You can read more about her work here: hms.harvard.edu/news/generatin…

Our lab's newest preprint is out now! We report that airway injury can trigger changes in distant areas of the lungs that were not previously appreciated. We dove into the amazing field of macrophage biology to explain these responses. Check out our story: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Proud to be representing ISSCR and MA today at Congressional Advocacy Day on Capitol Hill with colleagues.

Wishing everyone a very happy International Women's Day! Please join us at the Women in Science Symposium on April 9, 2024 to celebrate some remarkable scientists of the greater Boston area. harvard.zoom.us/webinar/regist…

My final paper at @BCHStemCell @harvardmed @Carlakimlab merges cancer, inflammation and cell plasticity - we identified an injury/plastic state as essential for lung repair that is co-opted by early-stage LUAD! Exciting to see similar findings from @humam_kadara et al. in Nature

@BCHStemCell @harvardmed @humam_kadara

Excited to share our new manuscript @BCHStemCell @harvardmed in which we show a transcriptional plasticity state previously described in lung repair is co-opted by early-stage lung cancer. Beautiful similar findings from @humam_kadara et al. in Nature. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Happy #InternationalWomensDay! I'm excited to hold our 2nd annual HMS/HMS Affiliated Women's Day Symposium with my co-chair Marcia Haigis @HaigisLab on April 3rd. Please register here: tinyurl.com/yrfpk34p

Exciting postdoctoral position available in the Rawlins Lab (@LabRawlins) at the University of Cambridge! The Rawlins lab studies lung development and repair using human organoid models. Deadline 6th Feb jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/38638/

Thank you @NatureCancer for the chance to share my perspective #NewPI @EMBLBarcelona: growth can sometimes be uncomfortable & science is about the people @HansClevers @LabJacks @LabWinslow @_JamesSharpe @FeldserLab @EReckzeh @FCLynnette @TGOliver2 @Carman_MC_Li @m_foll @nl_alcala

Congrats to former postdoc, faculty member Christine Fillmore Brainson, on this exciting new paper! pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36525966/

Thank you @JosephMizgerd, it was an honor to give the Jerome S. Brody Lecture at @BUPulmonary yesterday. Many exciting science discussions!

@JGSdA you will be missed! Thank you for all of your hard work in the lab. I look forward to seeing your continued success as you kickstart your new role as a research advisor @LillyPad. @BCHStemCell @BCHPostDoc

@Kottond @JCI_insight Excited to have this great work published by @JCI_insight! Thank you @LabStripp, @Kottond and a special thank you to Kostas Alysandratos and @carogar7.

Just out @JCI_insight, our latest pub profiling human primary vs cultured type 2 pneumocytes, with datasets for all the community and a few surprises: "Culture impact on the transcriptomic programs of primary and iPSC-derived human alveolar type 2 cells" insight.jci.org/articles/view/…

Steve Curtis is now the Director, New Ventures at @AmericanCancer BrightEdge. Steve was the first PhD student in the Kim Lab! It was exciting to learn about how ACS is funding not only research but also new #startups. #CancerResearch #ScienceEntrepreneurship

It was so nice to see Hongmei Lisa Li, a former postdoc in our lab, who works at Takeda Pharmaceutical Company. Lisa was recently promoted to Associate Director in the Neuroscience Drug Discovery Unit. Congratulations, Lisa!

Are the doors for women in science truly open? Here is the latest episode of the Beyond Publications podcast. @CarlaKimLab I think you might find this one interesting. buff.ly/3iaXV5X

Congrats to Vijay and George. So happy for both of them.

COPD is the 3rd leading cause of death in the world & yet not much is known about it. I'm the co-director for the Lung Regeneration Consortium funded by @Longfonds Stiching. Our group focuses on better understanding the mechanisms of COPD & working toward clinical solutions.

Check out @WagersScott's interview with Angus Hamblin, Head of External Scientific Engagement for @AstraZeneca as they discuss the importance of #collaborationscience between academia & pharma in facing the challenge of #COPD: tinyurl.com/2p889npp
