My Biography & Research

Biography

Dr. Satish K. Madala joined the Division of Pulmonary Medicine in 2011, after postdoctoral training in fibrotic disease research in the laboratory of Dr. Thomas A. Wynn, NIAID, NIH. Dr. Madala’s major research interests are to identify cellular and molecular mechanisms of human fibrotic lung diseases in particular idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, cystic fibrosis, asthma and scleroderma. We use transgenic and non-transgenic mouse models to determine the molecular pathways that dictate pulmonary inflammation and fibrosis.
