معرفی
Monique E De Paepe is a Professor of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at Brown University's School of Medicine. She holds concurrent appointments as a Staff Pathologist at Women and Infants' Hospital and a Consulting Pathologist at Rhode Island Hospital, both in Providence, RI.
Her research focuses on the molecular mechanisms regulating alveolar remodeling in lung development, with specific emphasis on apoptosis and angiogenesis in normal and pathological contexts. She has pioneered studies on bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) using transgenic mouse models to investigate therapeutic strategies for this chronic lung disease affecting preterm infants.
