Overview

Brigid L.M. Hogan is affiliated with Duke University in the United States and has contributed extensively to the field of medicine, particularly focusing on pulmonary and respiratory medicine. Their research encompasses a broad range of subfields including surgery, molecular biology, endocrine and autonomic systems, and cancer research.

The main topics of their work include neonatal respiratory health research, tracheal and airway disorders, congenital diaphragmatic hernia studies, neuroscience of respiration and sleep, renal and related cancers, microRNA in disease regulation, and tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.

Their recent papers reflect this multidisciplinary scope:

  • "Transgenic over-expression of the microRNA miR-17-92 cluster promotes proliferation and inhibits differentiation of lung epithelial progenitor cells" (2020, UNC Libraries)
  • "Dorso-ventral heterogeneity in tracheal basal stem cells" (2021, Biology Open)
  • "Repair and Regeneration of the Respiratory System: Complexity, Plasticity, and Mechanisms of Lung Stem Cell Function" (2020, UNC Libraries)
  • "Distinct requirements for extra-embryonic and embryonic bone morphogenetic protein 4 in the formation of the node and primitive streak and coordination of left-right asymmetry in the mouse" (2021, UNC Libraries)
  • "Bud, branch, breathe! Building a mammalian lung over space and time" (2025, Developmental Biology)

These publications show a focus on lung development, stem cell function, and molecular mechanisms underlying respiratory system repair and development.

Frequent collaborators include Scott H. Randell, Jason R. Rock, Christina E. Barkauskas, Barry R. Stripp, and Marko Nikolić. Their work has been published mainly in UNC Libraries, but also in Biology Open and Developmental Biology, indicating a consistent presence in both digital and traditional scientific publication venues.

Brigid L.M. Hogan has received several awards recognizing their scientific contributions, including:

  • Excellence in Science Award, Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB), 2020
  • Member of the National Academy of Sciences, 2005
  • Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, 2001
  • Fellow of the Royal Society, United Kingdom, 2001
  • Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), 2000
  • Member of the National Academy of Medicine (NAM), 1996
  • Member of the European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO)

This profile outlines a researcher active in understanding respiratory biology through experimental and developmental approaches, with engagement in both clinical and molecular research areas.
