Mapping Chemical and Microbiological Heterogeneity Throughout Explanted Lung Specimens

Recruiting
We propose to study explanted tissue of patients that are scheduled to undergo single or double lung transplant surgery as a late-stage disease therapeutic strategy. The primary endpoint will be to characterize the composition of the bacterial community in the lung. The secondary endpoint will be to describe bacterial gene expression in the lower airways.
