Research Summary

My research is focused on the contribution of transient receptor potential (TRP) channel proteins in air pollution and lung injury. I’m also involved in a U54 project that studies dynamic and microenvironmental models of acquired chemoresistance in cancer. My Ph.D. is in Physiology and Pharmacology, and I have a strong background in molecular biology, drug discovery, toxicology and clinical studies.
