Program Leadership & Faculty Research

The Hastings Center for Pulmonary Research (HCPR) conducts monthly joint meetings among investigators from various laboratories involved in lung research at USC and, in partnership with the PCCSM Division, hosts bimonthly outside speakers with national and international reputations. Dr. Borok’s studies primarily focus on the function of the alveolar epithelium lining the internal gas exchange surface of the lungs in order to understand how lungs repair themselves.
