Our areas of research include mechanisms of lung ischemia-reperfusion
injury, lung rejection, compensatory lung regeneration, spinal cord injury,
cardiopulmonary bypass-induced injury, and aortic aneurysm formation.
We utilize many techniques in the lab including molecular & cell biology,
small animal surgery, cell culture, small animal imaging, and microscopic
techniques. Our team of researchers tackle both clinical and basic
science research projects in our efforts to contribute to the knowledge
behind these processes.
