My primary research interests are chronic infiltrative lung disease, lung cancer screening and atypical mycobacterial infections. My interest in chronic infiltrative lung diseases includes descriptive studies of the various diseases as well as collaborative efforts with pulmonologists and pathologists including an NIH grant as a Co-PI in the Lung Tissue Research Consortium.

My interest in lung cancer screening is primarily focused on CT and I have been a Co-PI on two NIH funded research studies. One was a study performed at Mayo and the other is as part of a national multi-institutional study.

My interest in atypical mycobacterial infections is primarily focused on mycobacterium avium intracellulare complex infections.
