Dr. Baglole's research focuses on how environmental exposures drive the pathogenesis of chronic lung diseases, including COPD. Her translational research program utilizes preclinical models of exposure to tobacco smoke as well as new and emerging threats to lung health including inhalation of various types of cannabis products and the use of e-cigarettes. Her main research focus is to understand, at the cellular and molecular levels, how these environmental exposures contribute to pathogenic mechanisms such as chronic inflammation that drive the development of disease.
