    John P. Clancy, MD Research Director, Division of Pulmonary Medicine

    focuses primarily on airway epithelial biology, examining strategies to treat cystic fibrosis and to normalize protease dysregulation in lung inflammatory disorders. The goals of our research program are 1) to examine strategies to restore activity to mutant, disease-causing CFTR mutations, 2) to develop new biomarkers of CFTR activity, and 3) to investigate novel inflammatory pathways.

Dr. Madala’s major research interests are to identify cellular and molecular mechanisms of human fibrotic diseases in particular idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, cystic fibrosis and scleroderma. We use transgenic and non-transgenic mouse models to determine the molecular pathways that dictate pulmonary inflammation and fibrosis.

    Michael Seid, PhD Director, Health Outcomes and Quality Care Research, Pulmonary Medicine and James M. Anderson Center for Health Systems Excellence

    The basic science behind whatto do to improve health include genetics, biology, and chemistry, and physiology; the basic science behind how to do it right is behavioral and social science. Dr. Seid's Lab applies behavioral and social science to answer the question ‘What does it take to make sure the right treatment gets to the right child in the right way at the right time, every time?’ In the lab, we take a noncategorical approach to answering this question, as there are many more similarities than differences across diseases in what it takes to get things right. We also recognize that answering this question requires expertise from many areas: patients and families; clinicians; social scientists like psychologists, sociologists, economists, and anthropologists; designers; story-tellers and artists; systems engineers; organizers; technologists; health informaticians; and epidemiologists and other statisticians. Visit the Seid Lab.

He has played a major role in the development of instrumentation and techniques for flexible bronchoscopy in pediatric patients. He is recognized as a teacher of endoscopic techniques, and has published many papers and book chapters on the subject. Additionally, he has extensive experience with clinical problems in pediatric pulmonary medicine, especially children with complex airway problems and cystic fibrosis.

    Before coming to Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, Dr. Wood was on the faculty of Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio (1976 to 1983), and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (1983 to 1999).

His lab studies new methods for in-vivo assessment of regional pulmonary function, microstructure and physiology using hyperpolarized gases (3He and 129Xe) and 1H MRI, in addition to multi-volume CT. As new therapeutics for pulmonary diseases are developed, these new methods will be used for efficacy assessment and potential image guidance.
