Research Interest
My research focuses on identifying steroid resistant pathways of inflammation in severe asthma. We have previously identified Type 1 inflammation, manifested by Interferon-gamma elevation in the lung, as a phenotype of severe asthma. My current work seeks to better understand the immune mechanisms leading to persistence of Type 1 inflammation in severe asthma and how this impacts disease severity and response to currently available asthma therapies.
Clinical Interest
My clinical interest is in the diagnosis and management of patients with severe asthma. This includes management of common asthma comorbidities and newly developed biologic therapies for severe asthma.
Educational Interest
My educational interests focus on teaching medical students about asthma physiology, diagnosis and management. I also have an educational focus on critical care training for residents through the teaching services in the ICU setting.
