Email Profile Print Profile × No Rating Available In order to provide the most accurate and useful information on our providers, we only post satisfaction data when a provider has received a minimum of 30 survey responses. We have not yet received the minimum number of surveys for this provider, or this provider is a researcher who only sees a limited number of patients in clinic.

Overview Contact Info & Locations Programs & Services Cell Biology Specialties & Conditions Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD)/Pulmonary Fibrosis Research Areas Fibroblast biology Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) Macrophage Biology Pulmonary Fibrosis Special Interests My career interests are focused on the interactions between TNF-α, macrophages and myofibroblasts and their role in the resolution of established pulmonary fibrosis with the goal to investigate the mechanisms by which TNF-α resolves fibrosis as the basis for the translational application of this work as a potential therapeutic. We plan to elucidate the mechanisms by which TNF-α is reducing the pro-fibrotic phenotype of macrophages and myofibroblasts and via the creation of an anti-fibrotic lung microenvironment. The importance of understanding how macrophages are shaping the lung environment during disease and how these interactions can be modulated to influence disease resolution is an important research direction that can be applied to many diseases including fibrosis and cancer. It is my goal that my basic science findings conducted in mouse models be translatable to human disease and into potential therapeutic treatments.

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.
