Research Activities
Our pediatric pulmonary and sleep medicine faculty are engaged in research activities that are deepening our understanding of variety of pulmonary and sleep conditions. Our findings translate into better patient diagnostic and management skills.
Our research activities include pediatric asthma, sickle cell disease, nutrition in cystic fibrosis, vaping associated lung injury, novel therapies for neuromuscular conditions, telemedicine applications, obstructive sleep apnea diagnosis and treatment just to name a few.
Academic Programs
Our pediatric pulmonary and sleep medicine faculty are actively involved in teaching our pediatric residents, third- and fourth-year medical students, allergy and immunology fellows and sleep medicine fellows. Further, we provide education to nurses, respiratory therapists and sleep lab staff; give interdisciplinary lectures; and offer community outreach teaching sessions for physician groups throughout Northern California.
