Home Page Plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 is a serine protease inhibitor involved in inhibition of fibrinolysis. My laboratory is interested in the regulatory role of PAI-1 in lung fibrogenesis. To this end, we are examining the molecular events related to fibrin deposition, PAI-1 regulation and fibroblast biology both in in vitro and animal models, and are testing novel gene delivery systems for therapeutic purposes.
