Research

  • I am a respiratory physician-scientist combining active clinical duties with clinical and translational research on airway diseases, focusing on severe
    asthma and bronchiectasis.

    My research aims to link the clinical symptoms and signs of severe asthma and bronchiectasis with the underlying inflammatory and immunological mechanisms contributing to a better understanding of those diseases with the ultimate goal of the well-being of our patients.

Teaching
