About

Biography

I focus my research on the critical care management of solid organ transplant patients, including the pulmonary complications that arise following transplantation. My work also examines physical conditioning in lung transplant candidates and recipients, supported by ongoing studies in cardiopulmonary exercise testing, donor lung quality, and inflammatory gene sequencing in lung allograft dysfunction.
