New Associate Editor: Dr. Larrisa Shimoda

I am very pleased to announce that Dr. Larissa Shimoda became an Associate Editor for AJP-Lung effective January 1^st, 2015.  

  Larissa Shimoda is an Associate Professor of Medicine in the Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. Dr. Shimoda received her BS, MS and PhD degrees in Biomedical Engineering from Marquette University and received postgraduate training in Pulmonary Physiology in the Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine at Johns Hopkins. 

Dr. Shimoda’s research focuses on His research aims to integrate basic research on intracellular signaling and intercellular communication pathways to the level of the intact organ and organism. His publications have provided significant new insight into the mechanisms contributing to the pathophysiology of acute lung injury, lung edema, and pulmonary hypertension. In the best tradition of translational science, he aims to apply this knowledge for the development and preclinical testing of new therapeutic strategies for the treatment of these diseases.
