Ana Lilia Serna, from northern Mexico, earned her medical degree from the Autonomous University of Coahuila in Torreón. After clinical training, she pursued research at the Centre for Biomedical Research. She later completed a master’s in Stem Cell Technology at the University of Nottingham, where her work under Dr. Nick Hannan earned her the Vice-Chancellor's Scholarship for Research Excellence, leading to a PhD in Human Development.
Her doctoral research focused on developing an in vitro alveolar model using human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) to study Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis. Now a postdoctoral researcher at the Hannan Lab, she continues developing hiPSC-derived lung models for translational research. Her work aims to create a physiologically relevant platform to better understand respiratory pathogens' role in lung fibrosis progression.
