Katrina Steiling, MD, MSc

Research Interests:

My research involves gene expression profiling of the large airway epithelium in smokers with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and lung cancer in order to provide insights into the molecular mechanisms of COPD and the relationship between COPD and lung cancer.
