Jonas Schupp MD

Jonas Schupp is a medical specialist in the Department of Respiratory Medicine and Infection Medicine at Hannover Medical School (MHH) and a scientist in the German Center for Lung Research (DZL) at its partner site BREATH. Jonas Schupp's research focuses on interstitial lung disease. This disparate group of different lung diseases affects tissue around the alveoli. They can occur in many rheumatic diseases and after lung transplantation. The lung tissue becomes increasingly scarred and in many cases leads to pulmonary fibrosis, in which the lungs harden. The physician has long been dedicated to basic research in the field of the lungs. Before coming to the MHH and DZL in 2021, he already spent four years at the renowned Yale School of Medicine at Yale University in the USA researching pulmonary fibrosis.
