I am a fellow in pediatric pulmonology at the University of Iowa. I am interested in basic disease mechanisms in cystic fibrosis (CF), a common childhood lung disease. I am engaged in translational research using the pig model of CF. I care for patients with asthma, CF, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, airway anomalies, rare lung disorders, abnormal breathing, neuromuscular weakness and pulmonary aspiration. I additionally enjoy cardiopulmonary exercise testing for patients with shortness of breath due to exercise.
