Integrated CardioPulmonary Team
Cigarette/ E-Cigarette
We are interested in examining the health effects of long-term smoking. We focus on the structural and functional adaptation of the aorta to these disease models, looking at tissue-level mechanics and understanding how it relates to the overall biological response of the cardiovascular system.
wildland firefighters
We are investigating the health consequences following acute and chronic firefighter exposure to wildland fire smoke.
ASTHMA
We combine data from Computed Tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) into computational framework to simulate flow and drug distribution in asthmatic lungs. In addition, we model mechanical characteristics of asthmatic lungs using dynamic MRI, and we perform sensitivity analysis of our computational framework.
CANNABIS
We are studying the effects of cannabis smoking, with a focus in understanding the relative harm of different smoking modes.
