Study Summary

This study is investigating the way the lung is damaged in a condition called pulmonary fibrosis. Research studies will be conducted on lung tissue obtained from an open lung biopsy performed by the subject's surgeon. The identification of unique genetic markers of scarred lung may ultimately lead to new approaches to the diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary fibrosis.

Primary Outcome

Microarray gene expression analysis involves the extraction of RNA from cells, synthesizing cDNA to hydridize to a probe array of genes, scanning signal intensities, and normalizing data to analyze probe-level expression for differential genes, Other methods of analyzing differential gene expression including Bulk RN-seq, and single cell RNA-seq will allow be employed where feasible.
