Jesse Joad, M.D.
Jesse Joad studies the effects of air pollutants (second hand smoke, ozone, allergens) on airway hyperresponsiveness and the neural control of airways and cough in animal models. Techniques include videomicrometry of lung slices, isolated perfused lung, whole animal lung function, microinjection of neuroactive substances in the brainstem, and electrophysiology of the brainstem slice. She also studies the role of leukotrienes in lung diseases of human infants.

Ruth McDonald, M.D.
Ruth McDonald's research involves evaluating the effects of air pollutants, including second hand smoke and ozone, on lower airway inflammation and oxidant stress responses in infant animals. Her techniques include precise airway sampling, including bronchoscopy, lavage, and brushing.
