Research Interests

The goals of my research are as follows: to better understand the role of airway epithelium in irritant induced bronchial hyperresponsiveness; to examine the release of specific lipid mediators from epithelial cells following exposure to ozone; to examine the effects of low molecular weight aldehydes on pulmonary function;to measure the expression of genes encoding for key enzymes controlling theproduction of such mediators and the infiltration of cells during nonimmunologic airway hyperreactivity; to exa...
