"After I presented a research proposal to a small Eskimo village in Alaska many years ago, the Council Elder told me, "We will trust you with our children." I feel privileged to receive that trust from every parent of every child that I treat. I believe families deserve not only the best care but also our utmost efforts to improve that care through research and training."

  • Biography

Research Description

Clinical and physiologic epidemiology of pediatric lung diseases, currently including bronchiectasis in indigenous populations and chest wall disorders in infants.

Current research themes include:
1) bronchiectasis in developing countries and indigenous populations and
2) respiratory consequences of spine and chest wall deformities and their treatments
3) diaphragm disorders and evaluation of surgical interventions

Research Focus Area

Chronic Conditions / Special Health Care Needs, Pulmonary, Therapeutic Trials, Translational research, observational studies, investigator-initiated interventional studies
