We study the
pathophysiology of and investigate new treatments for acute lung
injury and acute respiratory failure. Particular interests include
the mechanisms leading to lung edema and functional failure and
laboratory techniques that can be used to quantify such changes.
We are particularly interested in the role of complement activation
in the development of injury and interactions between complement
and bacterial pathogens in the lung. We are using the knowledge
gained in this work to examine potential new therapies for lung
injury.
