    Bridging methodological gaps in physiologically relevant inhalation toxicology.To improve the assessment of negative health effects caused aerosolized particulates in air prolution, my work aims to develop in vitro procedures to elucidate the role of particulate matter constituents to lung cell oxidative stress using biomimetic cell culture. I have proposed and am testing biophysical, proteomic, and genetic hypotheses about cellular responses to particulate matter using multiple assays including intrinsic and extrinsic fluorometry, mass spectroscopy, DLS and RT-PCR. While doing this work, I have mentored several undergraduate and master’s students in cellular toxicology and biomaterials projects.
