CURRENT RESEARCH
INTERESTS
Objectives are to study the regional
heterogeneity of bronchial blood flow,
distribution of bronchial blood flow within the
lung, interaction between nitric oxide and other
pharmacological agents on bronchial blood flow
and gas exchange via thebronchi circulation,
clinical studies on COPD, asthma, and sleep
apnea.
