Research Areas & Programs
Pulmonary Research
Here are some highlights of our Pulmonary Research. For more information on all pulmonary-related areas of research, visit Lab & Centers.
Interventional Pulmonology
Pulmonary Vascular Medicine
Sleep Research
Our research team aims to gain a greater understanding of sleep and sleep disorders with the hope of improving the treatment of sleep disorders.
Critical Care Research
ARDS
We are interested in the pathophysiology of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS), ranging from the inflammatory response at a cellular level to larger organ contributions with pulmonary-renal interactions.
ECMO
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a type of mechanical life support. Our research evaluates biomarker changes associated with clinical interventions for patients on ECMO.
ICU Recovery
After an ICU admission, patients often struggle with cognitive, physical, and mental impairment--a group of symptoms known as Post-Intensive Care Syndrome (PICS).
Physiology
Our research investigates physiologic mechanisms of the respiratory system. Our goal is to assess respiratory mechanics and function to assist in the diagnosis and understanding of pulmonary-related diseases.
