New topic
The Kathiriya Lab focuses on studying how fate decisions of distal lung epithelial stem cells are affected by intrinsic and extrinsic factors. Upon injury, dedicated adult stem/progenitor cells are preferentially activated to locally regenerate injured regions of the distal lung. Subsequently, the microenvironment and surrounding cell types influence cytoskeletal remodeling of differentiating stem cells, often causing maladaptive differentiation during disease progression. The Kathiriya lab aims to investigate what makes the stem cells respond preferentially upon injury and the mechanisms affecting the cytoskeletal remodeling of distal lung epithelial stem cells to cause abnormal regeneration, resulting in disease state. The overall aim of the lab is to create therapeutic interventions that can help stem cells regenerate functional alveoli. To achieve this goal, the Kathiriya Lab integrates in vitro 3D stem cell organoids, in vivo mouse genetics, and in silico computational data modeling.

Physicians and scientists on the faculty of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai often interact with pharmaceutical, device, biotechnology companies, and other outside entities to improve patient care, develop new therapies and achieve scientific breakthroughs. In order to promote an ethical and transparent environment for conducting research, providing clinical care and teaching, Mount Sinai requires that salaried faculty inform the School of their outside financial relationships.
