Investigating the Mechanisms of Nanocarbon Black-Induced Epithelial Damage in COPD

Principal Investigator

Dr. Anubama Rajan

Brief Summary of Project

This project aims to evaluate how nanocarbon black (nCB) induces epithelial damage in a human nose organoid (HNO) model using Air-Liquid Interface (ALI) culture. The project will focus on understanding the early inflammatory events caused by nCB exposure, providing insights into the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying nCB-induced airway epithelial damage in the context of COPD.
