Jason Gokey, PhD

Research Assistant Professor of Medicine

Division of Allergy, Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine
Jason Gokey
Professional Bio
Jason J. Gokey, PhD, is a Research Assistant Professor of Medicine in the Division of Allergy, Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine within the Department of Medicine at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. Dr. Gokey earned his baccalaureate degree in biology and chemistry and went on to earn his PhD in cellular and developmental biology. He completed a postdoctoral fellowship training program in pulmonary biology at the Cincinnati Children's Medical Center under the mentorship of Dr. Jeffrey Whitsett. Dr. Gokey's research has focused strongly on the abnormal epithelial cell signaling associated with the progression of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), a disease associated with abnormal epithelial cell differentiation, failure to repair after injury, and poor prognosis. It is Dr. Gokey's continuing endeavor to unravel the underlying mechanisms of this disease. He has shown a consistent and passionate interest in IPF throughout his academic career and is dedicated to furthering original research in this area. Dr. Gokey is affiliated with the laboratory of Dr. Jonathan Kropski at VUMC. The Kropski lab investigates the mechanisms of lung injury, repair and fibrosis with a focus on disease initiation and propagation with a goal of developing strategies for early diagnosis and novel therapeutic strategies to prevent progression of these diseases.
