A broad range of respiratory research is undertaken by this group including:

  • Airway inflammation and remodeling (especially fibrogenesis and angiogenesis) and its relationship to airway function

  • Control of ventilation in animal models and in humans

  • Role of the bronchial circulation

  • Evidence Based Medicine as applied to the respiratory system

  • Respiratory effects of tobacco smoke

  • Causes and consequences of exercise-induced impairment of pulmonary gas transfer

  • Hidden patterns of lung function in disease

  • Airway inflammation in cystic fibrosis and its relationship with host-organism interactions

  • Clinical pharmacology studies of novel interventions in respiratory disease

  • Respiratory epidemiology – especially asthma, COPD and interstitial lung disease.
