His research interests focused on genetic mechanisms causing and contributing to diffuse lung disease in children, with a particular emphasis on genetic disorders of surfactant metabolism and understanding the epidemiology and biology of the lung disease associated with these disorders. He also investigated other causes of other genetic mechanisms for different forms of childhood diffuse lung disease. He maintains collaborations with clinician scientists at Hopkins and other institutions focused on rare lung diseases and remains active with the Children’s Interstitial Lung Disease (ChILD) Research Network and involved with activities of the ChILD Foundation.
