Ya-Wen Chen, PhD, is investigating the potential for using cells from a patient’s own body to develop tissue for trachea and lung transplantations, which could result in reduced dependency on organ donors. Additionally, her research is leading to a greater understanding of how to block SARS-CoV-2 from entering the lungs., is investigating the potential for using cells from a patient’s own body to develop tissue for trachea and lung transplantations, which could result in reduced dependency on organ donors.
