Dr. Suzanne Cloonan
Professor in Respiratory Biochemistry, Clinical Medicine Tallaght
Biography
Dr. Cloonan is a Professor in Respiratory Biochemistry in the School of Medicine at Trinity College Dublin as well as an Adjunct Assistant Professor of Biochemistry in Medicine at Weill Cornell Medical College. Dr. Cloonan received her PhD in Biochemistry in 2010 from Trinity College Dublin Ireland. She carried out her Post-Doctoral training in the lab of Dr. Augustine MK Choi in The Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine, Brigham and Women"s Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston. In 2014, she became faculty at Weill Cornell Medicine having obtained funding from the National Institute of Health (K99/R00 award) and the American Lung Association to understand the role of mitochondrial dysfunction and iron metabolism in the development of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). After obtaining Science Foundation Ireland Future Research Leaders Award, she relocated her lab to Trinity College Dublin as an Associate Professor in 2020. Her lab is focused on applying cutting edge techniques and concepts to aid in understanding the molecular mechanisms behind iron metabolism in normal and diseased lung; related to inflammation, alveolar epithelial cell biology, host-pathogen interactions in the lung microenvironment and subsequent systemic implications. She is currently Chair of Assembly 3.02, Airway cell biology and immunopathology and is a member of the fellowships and awards committee for the European Respiratory Society. She is also a program committee member for the Allergy, Immunology and Inflammation assembly of the American Thoracic Society and is an associate editor at Scientific Reports and Respiratory Research.

- Summary
- COPD is the most prevalent respiratory disease in adults affecting over 170 million people globally and tops all non-communicable respiratory diseases combined in mortality. While COPD is already the third leading cause of death worldwide, death rates from COPD are predicted to rapidly intensify due to a rising and ageing global population, outweighing any potential improvements in care. With little or no advances in therapy in decades, COPD is irreversible and inexorably progressive leading to a severe impairment in quality of life. Given the burden of COPD on human health, new and better personalised therapies are therefore desperately needed.
