Penn Vet Announces Third Annual Symposium on Zoonotic Disease Research

Penn Vet's Institute for Infectious and Zoonotic Diseases has announced the agenda for its 2025 IIZD Symposium. The event will bring together over a half-dozen researchers who will exchange scientific information on issues affecting the emergence, spread, and control of infectious disease.

Human Lungs

Identifying a proliferating repairman for tissue in damaged lungs

Veins in the lungs, or pulmonary veins, play a critical role not only in lung functioning but also in maintaining sufficient oxygen in tissue throughout the body. When a person sustains pulmonary injury from an illness like influenza or COVID, repair of blood vessels and the creation of new ones is vital to meet oxygen demands; however, research in these areas remains underexplored.

Mike Hogan

Penn Vet Scientist Receives Grant to Study Unconventional T Cell Response to Advance Potential HIV/AIDS Vaccine Development

Michael J. Hogan, PhD, assistant professor of Pathobiology at the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine (Penn Vet), has been awarded a one-year grant from the W.W. Smith Charitable Trust. The grant will fund Hogan’s investigation aimed at gaining a clearer understanding of a particular type of immune response that could pave the way for developing a safe and effective HIV/AIDS vaccine using pioneering mRNA technology.
