  • Research efforts in the Edward Chen Lab focus on bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis and granulomatous inflammation as well as clinical and translational studies in sarcoidosis. 

Research Summary

Dr. Chen’s research focus has been on the etiopathogenesis of sarcoidosis, with a goal to identify mechanisms that drive disease activity. He has participated in the initial studies demonstrating an important role for antigens as a trigger of immune system activity in sarcoidosis. Additionally, he played an important role in the identification of serum amyloid A as an innate ligand that preferentially enhances and sustains inflammatory responses in sarcoidosis. Ongoing projects include a longitudinal study of immune system responses in pulmonary sarcoidosis, and the use of computer-assisted imaging to evaluate initial treatment of pulmonary sarcoidosis.
