Dr. Christine Bojanowski Awarded $500K Cystic Fibrosis Foundation Grant to Advance Airway Immunity Research

Congratulations to Dr. Christine M. Bojanowski, Assistant Professor in the Section of Pulmonary Diseases, Critical Care, and Environmental Medicine on her award of $500,000. A research grant from the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation for her work on upper airway mucosal immunity and Th22 aberrancy in cystic fibrosis (CF). Dr. Bojanowski’s research aims to characterize the unique immune pathways that make people with CF more susceptible to airway microbial persistence and identify potential therapeutic targets independent of CFTR restoration that will reduce infection and ultimately lengthen life.
