Nadia Tan awarded Graduate Student Award in Asthma Research
Nadia Tan, Graduate Student in Dr. Manali Mukherjee’s lab, has received the Graduate Student Award in Asthma Research for her project titled “Aberrant lymphocytes and airway autoimmunity: Connecting severe asthma and Eosinophilic Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis (EGPA) pathology”. Severe asthma and EGPA share common local airway autoimmune features. The overarching goal is to investigate a common underlying pathology that predisposes a subset of severe asthmatics to develop EGPA.
This award was sponsored by the Canadian Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology Foundation (CAAIF), and the CIHR-Institute of Circulatory and Respiratory Health (CIHR-ICRH).
Congratulations Nadia!
