Director, Asthma Project, CCCEH

Associate Director and Lead Physician Scientist, Disease Investigation through Specialized Clinically-Oriented Ventures in Environment Research

 

Research Interests

Our work concentrates on the mechanisms for the onset of asthma. One large research focus involves establishing and studying a birth cohort from Northern Manhattan (CCCEH.org), determining the importance of environmental allergens, traffic-related pollutants, and phthalate exposure to the onset of allergies, asthma, and Th2 immune responses. A major emphasis is on the role of prenatal and early postnatal exposure on later pediatric and adolescent asthma risk. Additional areas of research include identifying novel genetic by environment interactions and epigenetic by environment interactions important to the onset of asthma. We also have established several mouse models examining the importance of prenatal and postnatal environmental exposures on asthma risk. Recent work on antigen-specific immune responses to influenza vaccine in utero was cited by the journals Nature and Science on their websites.

 

Clinical Interests

The clinical office specializes in the treatment of asthma and allergies. Clinical trials also are conducted at the John Edsall-John Wood Asthma Center.
