Elizabeth Corteselli used an NC TraCS pilot grant to create a new model for studying lung diseases and potential treatments. Only a few medications are currently approved to treat idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) in the U.S., and these can sometimes cause significant side effects. Elizabeth Corteselli, a pediatric allergy and immunology researcher at the UNC School of Medicine, received help from NC TraCS to create a new lab model of the lung, giving researchers a way to observe how our lungs interact with everything we might breathe in, from pollution to dust to medications.

We inspire each other every day. With pride in our mission and our accomplishments, it is an honor to be surrounded by these exceptionally talented and dedicated faculty, staff, and learners. Our teams are tireless advocates for children and families throughout the state and beyond.
For more than half a century, the Department of Pediatrics at the University of North Carolina School of Medicine has offered excellent, cutting-edge care in our children’s units at UNC Hospitals. 2002 marked the beginning of a new era. For the first time, all pediatric services were provided out of a single state-of-the-art facility, NC Children’s Hospital. Located on the UNC medical campus in Chapel Hill, NC, the Children’s Hospital allows the Department to provide complete inpatient and outpatient care for children in one location, a true children’s hospital.
