Biography

Wellington V. Cardoso, MD, PhD, is an Adjunct Professor at Boston University Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine, where he focuses on the molecular regulation of progenitor cell fate and morphogenesis in the lung. His research investigates the role of developmental pathways, including retinoic acid and FGF signaling, in establishing cell fate and patterning in the embryonic lung. The program he directs, which is part of the Pulmonary Center at BUSM, aims to elucidate the properties and fates of lung progenitor cells, develop tools for their characterization, and understand the genetic and epigenetic mechanisms controlling lung lineage formation. His work has led to significant insights into the gene regulatory networks involved in lung development, contributing to advancements in lung regeneration and repair mechanisms. Cardoso serves as a mentor to graduate students in the Graduate Medical Sciences program and has been actively involved in collaborative research efforts.
