Current Research Interests

Her research focuses on the spectrum of respiratory disease associated with indoor environments, with particular interest in the relationship between building-related upper respiratory syndromes (rhinitis, sinusitis) and the development of lower respiratory syndromes (asthma, hypersensitivity pneumonitis). Her team is working to develop exposure assessment tools that will help to better characterize indoor risk factors
