Epithelial Mesenchymal Interactions in Lung Development and Fibrosis Conference 2019
Lung development is governed by epithelial-mesenchymal interactions. These pathways are recapitulated during injury and repair. This conference will focus on understanding key processes underlying lung development, injury and repair in the context of age, environment and species, with the hope of better understanding disease development and to discover novel therapeutic approaches.
We will highlight critical issues on lung epithelial biology such as stem cells and regenerative medicine, while expanding sessions to encompass themes such as single cell analytical approaches, cell-cell communication, dissect the biological distinctions mesenchymal proliferation as a repair mechanism and fibrosis; present the impact of new tools in single cell analysis on understanding lung development, repair, and disease; and characterize epithelial-mesenchymal interrelationships that maintain lung homeostasis and orchestrate repair and regeneration. The entire program has been designed to achieve a better understanding of the key clinical research issues and how they relate to basic mechanistic investigation.
Key Sessions:
Fgf signaling in lung development and fibrosis
Aging and lung fibrosis
Lung stem/progenitor cells and their regulation in health and disease
Organoid cultures to model lung development and disease
Epithelial-mesenchymal interactions in lung development and fibrosis

Nassau is the capital of the Bahamas. It lies on the island of New Providence, with neighboring Paradise Island accessible via Nassau Harbor bridges. The city has a hilly landscape and is known for it's fabulous beaches as well as its offshore coral reefs, popular for diving and snorkeling. It retains many of its typical pastel-colored British colonial buildings, like the pink-hued Government House.
Submission Info
For those interested, this meeting follows the 3rd Fibroblast Growth Factors in Development and Repair Conference, taking place from 15 February - 18 February 2019 at the same venue. A joint FGF session takes place on Monday 18 February from 08:30 - 12:30.
