What Ian is working on:

  1. Coordinate & support flow cytometry work for the Tighe Lab, other Pulmonary investigators & Duke / non-Duke collaborators. Principally, sample preparation/staining, acquisition & analyses of immune cell populations in both animal & human models subsequent to controlled pulmonary exposure to environmental pollutants of concern (Ozone, Carbon Black et al).
  2. Contribute flow cytometry to studies examining murine models of bone fracture & pain stress. Specifically determining the distribution & immune cell bias in multiple tissues/organs.
  3. Support collaborative studies examining the efficacy of diagnostic XeMRI in IPF (idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis) patients. Coordinate the accession & processing of patient samples.
