Specialization
Clinical Physiology: Pathogenesis and Pathophysiology of Airway Diseases
Focus of research
- Pathophysiology and phenotyping of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
- Structure-function relationships in the airways of patients with asthma and COPD
- Gene expression profiling and in vivo function of airway smooth muscle in asthma
- Use of biomarkers of airway inflammation and lung function in the prediction and monitoring of clinical outcome of respiratory diseases
- Human in vivo models of asthma exacerbations by experimental rhinovirus infection, allergen, and/or particulate matter exposure
- Breatheomics in exhaled air by AMC developed, big data cloud-based electronic nose technology as non-invasive and unbiased diagnostic assessment of respiratory diseases
