Research and Clinical Interests
My interests are primarily in pulmonary pathology. I work closely with the interstitial lung disease program, the lung transplant service, and the division of thoracic oncology, and interpret the majority of the lung biopsies. I am involved predominantly in clinical translational research involving pulmonary disease.
