    Collapse Overview
    Dr. Bhattacharya is an attending ICU physician at UCSF Medical Center and directs a research laboratory at the Parnassus Heights campus. His lab focuses on lung injury and fibrosis, both major health problems for which effective therapies are limited, and is developing novel approaches to the study of cell-cell interactions in the lung--for example, between immune and structural cells. These interactions drive the development of scarring and progressive loss of lung function and therefore represent an opportunity for discovery of novel therapies.

    Altmetrics Details PMC Citations indicate the number of times the publication was cited by articles in PubMed Central, and the Altmetric score represents citations in news articles and social media. (Note that publications are often cited in additional ways that are not shown here.) Fields are based on how the National Library of Medicine (NLM) classifies the publication's journal and might not represent the specific topic of the publication. Translation tags are based on the publication type and the MeSH terms NLM assigns to the publication. Some publications (especially newer ones and publications not in PubMed) might not yet be assigned Field or Translation tags.) Click a Field or Translation tag to filter the publications.
