Research Interests for Patients
I am a pulmonary and critical care physician-scientist. Our group's research focuses on the effect of alcohol and substance use on development of pneumonia and ARDS, and outcomes among these patients. Along with local and national collaborators, we have formed a consortium to enable translational investigations in this area, and have developed a biorepository to facilitate investigations. I am also committed to training and career development of post-doctoral fellows and junior faculty seeking careers in academic medicine. I am the Program Director for the CCTSI's K12 Mentored Career Development program that supports training of junior faculty conducting translational research, and am a Co-PI for the Colorado T32 Training Program in Pulmonary Diseases that supports post-doctoral fellows at the University of Colorado.
