Scott Randell

Scott Randell is a Professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Medicine, affiliated with the Department of Cell Biology and Physiology. He co-directs the Respiratory Block in UNC's Translational Educational Curriculum and teaches graduate-level courses.

• Lung Repair and Regeneration Consortium (NIH NHLBI)
• Cystic Fibrosis Foundation Stem Cell Consortium
• UNC team science efforts in cystic fibrosis and aerodigestive cancers

His research focuses on epithelial stem cells, innate immunity, and lung disease mechanisms, particularly cystic fibrosis and post-transplant complications. He directs a tissue procurement and cell culture core serving national and international researchers.

Recent publications highlight his work on cystic fibrosis therapies, airway epithelial responses to environmental stressors, and molecular pathways in respiratory diseases. His lab develops innovative models for drug testing and regenerative medicine, emphasizing translational applications.

Scott Randell's educational contributions include directing the "Physiology Coil" for medical students and advancing curriculum development. His research integrates cellular biology, genetic therapies, and environmental toxicology to address muco-obstructive lung diseases and viral infections.
