Mary Elizabeth Anne Sunday is a Professor in the Departments of Pathology, Pediatrics, Cell Biology, and Medicine at Duke University. Her research focuses on the mechanisms of injury mediated by oxygen sensing in pulmonary neuroendocrine cells, particularly through the secretion of gastrin-releasing peptide (GRP). She investigates how excessive oxygen exposure leads to tissue injury, scarring, aging, and death, particularly in acute and chronic lung injuries and pulmonary fibrosis (PF). Her work has emphasized the importance of understanding PF related to environmental exposures, autoimmune diseases, and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Sunday aims to find cures for PF and to reverse the fibrotic responses in the lung. She has held numerous prestigious fellowships and her educational background includes earning a Ph.D. and M.D. from Harvard University, and a B.S. from the University of Toronto. She has also received multiple grants from the National Institutes of Health and other institutions to support her research initiatives.
