Alterations in the number and localization  of pulmonary neuroendocrine (NE) cells occur in many pediatric and adult lung diseases. I am currently using genetic labeling techniques in mice to understand how NE cells form distinct clusters of innervated cells termed neuroepithelial bodies (NEBs) in mice.

Developing new methods to analyze high-throughput biological datasets. Some of my tools that analyze gene expression datasets are StepMiner, BooleanNet and MiDReG. I have used Boolean implication and MiDReG to discover novel markers of the stem and progenitor cells in both normal and cancer tissues.
