Research Summary
My research interest is to apply quantitative imaging and next-generation technologies to understand the pathophysiology and molecular etiology of respiratory disease. My experience and expertise span multiple areas from biophysics and live-imaging microscopy to molecular biology, genetics and human respiratory diseases. I combine novel in vivo quantitative imaging approaches, genetic mouse models and next-generation omics technologies to understand the molecular and cellular mechanisms that drive successful alveolar repair.
