Dr. Abraham Roos has been awarded a fellowship to continue his studies on the immunological mechanisms contributing to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Dr. Roos earned his Ph.D. at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, and joined Professor Martin Stampfli’s lab in 2012. Shortly thereafter, Dr. Roos successfully secured a post-doctoral fellowship funded by the Swedish Research Council. The new stipend is awarded by the Swedish Society for Medical Research, and is made possible by a foundation started in memory of Olle Engqvist, a prominent Swedish 1900th century developer. The prestigious fellowship will enable Dr. Roos to further investigate the molecular basis of COPD pathogenesis. Drs. Roos and Stampfli with collaborators have recently published two seminal papers documenting a critical role for IL-17A in COPD flare-ups and disease progression. The ongoing research efforts explore these findings further, and investigate novel signaling pathways in obstructive lung disease.
