Elucidating the interaction of CF airway epithelial cells and rhinovirus: Using the host-pathogen relationship to identify future therapeutic strategiesA better understanding of the innate immune responses by CF airway epithelial cells is needed to identify why viral infections are more severe in CF
Research
Airway surface liquid pH is not acidic in children with cystic fibrosisModulation of ASL pH has been proposed as a therapy for CF. However, evidence that ASL pH is reduced in CF is limited and conflicting.

Developing a novel therapeutic pipeline for antibiotic resistant bacterial lung infection in children: investigating and assessing the potential phage therapyAntimicrobial resistance is a global health crisis, which has accelerated due to the overuse of antibiotics.

Pulmonary microRNA profiles identify involvement of Creb1 and Sec14l3 in bronchial epithelial changes in allergic asthmaIn this study, we aimed to use microRNAs-which are critical regulators of signaling cascades-to identify so far uncharacterized asthma pathogenesis pathways

Innate inflammatory responses of pediatric cystic fibrosis airway epithelial cells: Effects of nonviral and viral stimulationThere is controversy regarding whether cystic fibrosis (CF) airway epithelial cells (AECs) are intrinsically proinflammatory.
The Airway Epithelial Research Team is investigating the role of the epithelium in the development of airway diseases including asthma, cystic fibrosis and lung transplant rejection.
