Dr. Mutlu is Professor of Medicine and Chief of the Section of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine at the University of Chicago. He is also the principal investigator/director of the NIH T32 Research training in respiratory biology. Dr. Mutlu's research focuses on the mechanisms of acute lung injury, and pulmonary fibrosis. Specifically, his laboratory is interested in understanding the role of macrophage and fibroblast metabolism including mitochondria in the pathogenesis of acute lung injury and pulmonary fibrosis. Dr. Mutlu's laboratory has extensive expertise with in vitro cell based methods including bioenergetics and in vivo models of acute lung injury (influenza, LPS, bacterial pneumonia and particulate matter) and pulmonary fibrosis (bleomycin).
