Research Interests:

My research interests cover all aspects of pulmonary medicine, from lung sound to molecular pathophysiology of cystic fibrosis pulmonary diseases, to aspiration pneumonia in the elderly. My current research is focused on the lung defense mechanisms, which are impaired in cystic fibrosis patients.
