Research Abstract
Pulmonary free radical biology primarily relating to various types of the cytochrome P-450 enzyme system are the major fields of interest in this laboratory. These studies are related to the understanding of toxicity of environmental pollutants, oxygen toxicity and ARDS.

Studies are extended for evaluation of sexual differentiation in adulthood after neonatal insults with xenobiotics and hyperoxia.
