My special interests are complex airway diseases (Severe asthma, Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, chronic refractory cough, recurrent airway infections), and eosinophilic lung disorders (EGPA and HES). I evaluate these patients in inter-disciplinary out-patient clinics at the Firestone Institute. A particularly unique feature of my academic clinical practice is the integration of our airway inflammometry, translational immunology and bio-imaging laboratories with the provision of clinical care.
