Dr. Dorrello’s research interest is focused on lung regeneration, which has originated from his daily clinical experience with patients with extensive lung injury and failure. He has been exploring novel bioengineering methods to promote early repair in lung disease before irreversible changes occur. He has recently developed a new approach to bioengineering functional lungs with maintenance of intact vascular network after removing damaged epithelium. Dr. Dorrello has published in international peer -reviewed journals of highest reputation, such as Science, Nature, Molecular Cell, and Science Advances.
