Description
Dr. Andreas Schwingshackl's MD and PhD training provides the ideal framework for his work as a clinician-scientist in the field of lung inflammation, injury and repair. Dr. Schwingshackl's current research focuses on the role of stretch-activated potassium channels in the development of ventilator-induced lung injury, including inflammatory mediator secretion, loss of epithelial barrier function and lung repair mechanisms. In 2009 he discovered the expression of stretch-activated, 2-pore domain potassium (K2P) channels in the lung epithelium and in the following years he demonstrated that the TREK subfamily of K2P channels plays a crucial role in the development of hyperoxia- and mechanical stretch-induced lung injury.
