Expertise and Research Interests

My research interests are focused on asthma. I have been involved in several clinical trials on new drugs for the management of asthma. I am especially interested in working on studies that deal with asthma education. I am also studying the effects of thedifferent air pollutants including ozone on the course of asthma. Since my clinical work includes attending in the emergency center and the asthma clinic, I am directly involved in studies related to the management of asthma in the outpatient setting (ER and clinic).
