Dr Aloe is a postdoctoral researcher investigating the molecular mechanisms driving occupational lung diseases and pulmonary fibrosis, with a particular focus on macrophage biology and metabolic regulation. His work integrates human clinical cohorts, multi-omics and experimental models to determine how macrophage dysfunction and metabolic dysregulation contribute to disease progression. Working within multidisciplinary clinical and laboratory collaborations, he aims to translate these findings into biomarkers and therapeutic targets for occupational and fibrotic interstitial lung diseases. His long-term goal is to advance mechanism-based precision therapies that improve patient outcomes.
