Research Interest Summary

Determining the mechanisms and pathological conditions associated with hydration of the airway lumen.

Research Interests

  • Measuring the airway surface liquid (ASL) volume, ciliary beat frequency, and airway epithelial ion transport.
  • Development of novel high-throughput techniques to measure ASL volume and ASL pH.
  • Effects of Th2 type cytokines on ASL volume, airway innate immunity, the role of several transport proteins on ASL hydration, and post-translational modifications to the epithelial sodium channel (ENaC).
