Billie Hwang,
Transplant Immunologist,
University of Washington
Dr. Billanna Hwang is a transplant immunologist from the University of Washington. Early in her career at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, her primary studies investigated the role of Tregs in bone marrow transplantation and the development of acute and chronic GVHD. Her secondary projects led her to collaborations in the area of solid organ transplantation, specifically in VCA and lungs. Her current translational work continues to be in immune-driven responses in lung transplantation and associated clinical risk factors (ACR and CLAD), but has now evolved into exosome-based immunology. In addition she is also investigating the role of exosomes in pulmonary fibrosis, biomaterials, and pathogenesis of different lung diseases. She is also currently the co-director of the University of Washington Lung Transplant Biorepository with future gains to add the cardiac transplant to the infrastructure.
