Summary
- I'm an interventional pulmonary and critical care physician with a focus on the use and development of minimally invasive techniques that help to diagnose and stage lung cancer as well as treat and palliate symptoms of chronic respiratory illness. Additionally, I have a research interest in the biology of airway epithelial injury and repair in benign disease.
