Personal Statement

My research interests initially involved clinical studies evaluating the mechanisms for asthma exacerbation and airway inflammation in severe asthmatics. I am co-director of the adult asthma clinic and continue to conduct clinical trials. Much of my clinical time is in the medical intensive care unit and I have an interest in Hantavirus research including longitudinal studies and patient outcomes and evaluating mechanisms of inflammation and further treatment options. With the COVID-19 pandemic, I have now focused on clinical trials for this disease. I also have an active role in Project Echo which is a telehealth program (initially in asthma, then Hantavirus and H1N1,Critical Care for the COVID-19 patient and now Post Covid PC Echo) that provides real time education and case discussions for the community providers.
