My research focus is on pulmonary diseases affecting persons with HIV. Currently, I am PI/Co-PI on 3 main studies, 1) IHOP: The International HIV-associated Opportunistic Pneumonias (IHOP) Study is a multi-national cohort study whose goal is to improve our understanding of the epidemiology, etiology, and outcome of pneumonias in persons with HIV infection. 2) Lung MicroChip: The Lung Microbiome in Cohorts of HIV-Infected Persons (Lung MicroChip) Study is a multi-cohort study whose goal is to examine the composition and function of the lung microbiome in persons with HIV. Lung MicroChip was part of the Lung HIV Microbiome Project, a collaborative multi-U01 consortium established by the NHLBI to study the lung microbiome in HIV infection. 3) I AM OLD: The Inflammation, Aging, Microbes and Obstructive Lung Disease (I AM OLD) Study is a multi-cohort study whose goal is to examine potential mechanisms for development of obstructive lung disease and progression of airflow obstruction in a multi-national cohort of HIV-infected subjects with pneumonia, including TB.
