Research Intrest

We study cardiovascular and respiratory system responses to air pollutant exposures, particularly to second-hand smoke and petrochemical combustion products. A recent focus has been on the relationship between in utero exposure to these pollutants and subsequent adult atherosclerotic and allergic responses. We use molecular biology, microscopy (light, fluorescence, ultrastructural), analytical chemistry and immunocytochemistry techniques to investigate the mechanisms underlying the pathologic and functional responses to these environmental exposures.
