Special Interests

My clinical area of interest is in adult asthma, specifically adult onset and difficult to treat asthma. I hope to continue contributing to the science of airway inflammation in asthma via clincial and translational research. In our labs, we are working to characterize the phenotypes and endotypes of asthmatics, with the ultimate goal of tailored therapy for each patient with asthma.

This was my first appointment with Dr. Gunthur (she replaced Dr. Sergew). I was very impressed with the time she took, questions she asked about my condition, and the explanations of my results. She suggested the possibility of a new medicine in 6 months pending my reaction to a different exercise plan. I REALLY appreciated this as It showed me she took Into account my test results and my current level of activity. Very positive experience with Dr. Gunthur.
