Hogaboam Lab
The Hogaboam Laboratory is focused on elucidating innate and adaptive immune mechanisms that drive chronic lung diseases, such as asthma, hypersensitivity pneumonitis, sarcoidosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and idiopathic interstitial pneumonias (such as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis). The Hogaboam Laboratory is particularly interested in understanding the manner in which lung structural cells are affected by and contribute to these disease processes.
The Hogaboam Laboratory is affiliated with the Cedars-Sinai Department of Medicine and the Women's Guild Lung Institute Research.
Personal Statement
Cory Hogaboam, PhD, is a professor of medicine and research scientist IV in the Women's Guild Lung Institute in the Department of Medicine at Cedars-Sinai. Hogaboam is also an adjunct professor of Pathology at the University of Michigan Medical School. He earned a bachelor's of science in zoology from the University of Calgary, AB, Canada in 1989, and holds a doctorate's degree in Pharmacology (1993) from the same institution. Hogaboam engaged in postdoctoral training in immunology at McMaster University, Hamilton, ON, Canada, from 1993 to 1996.
Cory Hogaboam, PhD
Research in the Hogaboam Laboratory addresses two major themes related to chronic pulmonary disease.
- Cellular and molecular immune mechanisms that regulate the pulmonary growth and persistence of fungal and viral signals in a number of experimental murine models of allergy, hypersensitivity and asthma.
- We explore a grouping of clinical diseases collectively known as idiopathic interstitial pneumonias (IIPs).
