Special Interests

Research Interests

My research focus is to understand the repair and remodeling which occurs in the lungs in response to long-term cigarette smoke exposure. I am particularly interested in understanding the role which pulmonary macrophages play in determining the body's response to cigarette smoke exposure. We utilize advanced microscopy to understand the location of macrophages in human lungs to determine how cell location influences function.

Clinical Interests

My clinical interest is treating inpatients with critical illness.

Patient Ratings

The Patient Rating score is an average of all responses to care provider related questions on our independent rating system, the Press Ganey Patient Satisfaction Survey. This survey is about the patient care experience and does not address crucial characteristics like medical decision-making, prescribing the best therapy, and patient outcomes.

Responses are measured on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being the best score. Learn more about our patient satisfaction survey.
