  Research Interests  
  • We have established a mouse model of asthma/allergic pulmonary inflammation. Stress is known to cause acute asthma exacerbation. We are specifically studying the effect of physical exertion stress in allergic (Th2) pulmonary inflammation and comparing them in the non-stressed allergic control. We are studying the pulmonary histopathology, bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid cytokines, lymphocyte proliferative responses in stressed and control. Ultimate goal is to find the pathogenetic mechanism/s which could be blocked thus preventing acute asthma inflammation. Currently we working on “effect of asthma education on asthma related outcome particularly aiming minorities”.
