My research focuses on mechanisms of organ dysfunction in critical illness with an emphasis on acute lung injury, sepsis and acute kidney injury. We currently are focused on how cell-free hemoglobin, a potent oxidant, can injure the lung epithelium and endothelium and contribute to the pathogenesis of acute lung injury.
