Jack Elias is the Warren Alpert Foundation Professor of Translational Science and a professor of Molecular Biology, Cell Biology, Biochemistry, and Medicine at Brown University. His research focuses on cellular and molecular investigations into the pathogenesis, lung injury, and repair mechanisms. His laboratory employs murine modeling systems and genetically modified mice alongside human samples to delineate fundamental biological paradigms relevant to significant human lung diseases. Major research interests include understanding the mechanisms of Th2 inflammation and lung remodeling related to asthma, cigarette smoke-induced lung injury pertinent to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and the investigation of biomarkers associated with injury and repair in pulmonary fibrosis, particularly idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and Hermansky Pudlak Syndrome. Elias is also interested in the roles of chitinases and chitinase-like proteins in lung injury repair, as well as genetic modifiers of TGF-B1 and their implications in injury and fibrosis.
