Research

The adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and acute lung injury (ALI) remain important clinical problems with mortality ranging from 30% to 50%. Recovery from ALI/ARDS requires repair of the disrupted capillary endothelial-alveolar epithelial barrier in the pulmonary microcirculation before proper gas exchange can be re-established.  Research in our lab examines the role of glucose and hypoxia in pulmonary vascular repair in vitro and in an animal model of acute lung injury in vivo.
