    Research Description

    My long-term goal is to conduct translational research investigating circadian rhythms in pediatric airway and lung diseases. Specifically, I want to understand how circadian rhythm regulation contributes to disease pathobiology to develop novel therapeutic approaches to pediatric airway and lung diseases. Ultimately, the goal is to help answer questions like why do asthma exacerbations most often start at night? Why does cough worsen at night? And, how can we incorporate time of day into how we practice and understand disease?
