About:
My research involves the collection, processing and analysis of biospecimen samples collected from individuals either at baseline or following an inhaled exposure to an environmental irritant/pollutant such ozone, woodsmoke particles, endotoxin or PM2.5. Much of my research has focused on non or less invasive sampling techniques such as induced sputum to explore cellular and biochemical events in the large airways. My work has applied different analytic technologies such as flow cytometry and Seahorse extracellular flux analysis to sputum derived cells to better understand their phenotype and function.
