Sponsored research: (1) assessing mucus modulating therapies in lung disease, (2) determining whether Vitamin A can improve airway ciliation and prevent respiratory infections in the elderly, (3) developing novel imaging-based biomarkers to assess permeability in the lung.
About
I'm a clinical scientist and engineer with a background in inhaled aerosols and aerosol-based imaging in the lung. I have experience in clinical studies assessing mucus clearance in the lung. I have been a PI of multiple NIH, Foundation, and Pharma sponsored studies. I serve as the Associate Chief of the Pulmonary, Allergy, Critical Care and Sleep Medicine Division at the University of Pittsburgh and the Vice Chair of the University of Pittsburgh IRB.

Vitamin A supplementation to prevent respiratory infection in the elderly
We are interested in developing methods for preserving mucociliary clearance in the aging lung in order to prevent respiratory infections. These infections occur more often and cause more death in older people. Lung h...
