Biography
My lab has multiple research avenues that each leverage a culture technique called the air-liquid interface. Using the air-liquid interface culture method, we generate functioning human airway mucociliary tissue cultures in-vitro that are derived from primary stem cells isolated by simple nasal brushing of donors’ nasal passages. We use these human in-vitro respiratory tissue cultures for a variety of research projects aimed at generating translational data on the pathogenesis and treatment of current human respiratory conditions, including e-cigarette toxicity, personalized asthma medicine, and lung cancer modeling.
