Emma researches the effect of particulate matter on airway innate immunity in vitro and in diverse cohorts of people with and without chronic lung disease. Her passion in the BSI is to reduce the generation of microplastics by reducing inappropriate biohazard-bin use, and to reduce energy use floor-wide.

Ian investigates how ion transport processes shape epithelial function in health and disease. His research centers on chloride and acid-base transport, using electrophysiology and live-cell imaging to uncover how epithelial cells coordinate physiological processes. Through this lens, his lab explores the fundamental mechanisms that drive epithelial homeostasis and their disruption in disease.
