As a pulmonologist and a pulmonary physiologist, my research interests center on understanding the mechanisms of lung repair and compensatory alveolar-­capillary growth, and relating the molecular-­cellular responses to their structure-­function consequences. In addition, I have maintained a longstanding clinical interest in sarcoidosis. I attend at the Sarcoidosis Clinic at Parkland Hospital and UT Southwestern, manage a Patient Registry, and participate in local and national efforts to facilitate clinical research and patient education with the goal of advancing knowledge and improving management of this multi-­system disease.
