Education Postdoctoral Fellow, Johns Hopkins University, 2009 Ph.D., University of Montana, 2007 M.S., University of Montana, 2005 B.A., University of Pennsylvania, 1999 Teaching Biology 113 - Introduction to Cellular & Molecular Biology Biology 331 - Microbiology Biology 460 - Immunology - Coming in Spring 2010 Research Exposure to inhaled environmental toxins and particulates alters the antioxidant/oxidative balance in the lung leading to systemic changes driven by the innate and adaptive immune system. My research focuses on the cellular and molecular events such as oxidative stress and apoptosis in alveolar macrophages and epithelial cells that initiate immunological changes using human and mouse models. |
