Research

The goal of my research program is to understand how environmental and infectious agents, alone or in combination, influence innate and adaptive immune responses in the respiratory tract and the contribution of these changes to the pathogenesis of respiratory disorders such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma.
