Main Interests:

Molecular genetics of chronic sinopulmonary diseases

Research Interests:

• Determining CFTR genotype in phenotypes that overlap with cystic fibrosis (atypical CF, chronic sinusitis, male
  infertility and obstructive lung diseases)
• Identifying genetic variants that contribute to chronic lung disease by linkage and candidate gene approaches
• Determining the biological role of the CFTR protein by identifying mutations in patients with CF characterization
  of CFTR transcripts and protein from patients of various genotypes and analysis of chloride conduction properties
  of mutated CFTR expressed in various cell types
• Structure/function analysis of chloride channels expressed in epithelial tissues and retinal neurons
• Link: Cystic Fibrosis Twin and Sibling Study
