Aseel Khalil
Graduate Student
PhD student working on alanine transport in pulmonary fibrosis, and on methods to measure the biomechanics of lung matrix.
Aseel joined the lab in March 2026 as a graduate student in the Pathobiology Graduate Program. She is continuing the lab’s work on alanine transport in pulmonary fibrosis, and is developing methods to measure the biomechanical properties of lung extracellular matrix. She completed a master’s degree at Brown, where she built organoid-derived monolayer models to study host immune responses to Candida infection.
