Research Overview

  • First, I am pursuing a novel pathophysiologic mechanism (Acquired CFTR deficiency) that I believe is responsible for disrupted mucociliary function in chronic sinus disease. My second area of emphasis involves therapeutic interventions that enhance mucociliary clearance in both cystic fibrosis (where chronic sinusitis is virtually universal) and non-CF chronic sinusitis. Finally, I investigate clinical outcomes in rhinologic and endoscopic skull base surgical procedures.
