RESEARCH INTERESTS

Hypoxia (low oxygen levels) and hypercapnia (high carbon dioxide levels) are a feature of several pathological conditions including lung disease. Our work has demonstrated that manipulation of environmental oxygen and carbon dioxide levels can significantly impact upon inflammatory signaling. Current projects are directed towards understanding the mechanisms underpinning the cellular sensitivity to carbon dioxide and cross talk between oxygen and carbon dioxide signaling pathways.
