About Me

I grew up on Long Island and became interested in biological sciences when my 7th grade biology teacher brought clams from the Sound to school for us to dissect.

I grew up on Long Island and became interested in biological sciences when my 7th grade biology teacher brought clams from the Sound to school for us to dissect. I earned my undergraduate degree in Biology from the State University of New York at Stony Brook in 1984 and my doctoral degree at the University of Cincinnati in 1989. My thesis research under the mentorship of Dr. Jeffrey Whitsett showed how the collagen domain was responsible for proper folding and secretion of surfactant protein A and how glucocorticoids regulate transcription of surfactant proteins A and B. As a postdoctoral fellow at the NIH, I sequenced and studied transcriptional regulation of transforming growth factor-beta2 with Drs. Michael Sporn and Anita Roberts, and learned how to created transgenic mice working with Drs. Heiner Westphal and Kathleen Mahon. I joined the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Rochester in 1995 where I began to use my research training to investigate how high levels of oxygen (hyperoxia) inhibit cell proliferation via transforming growth factor-beta and p53 signaling. The preterm birth of my son in 2006 heavily motivated me to refocus my research towards understanding how early-life oxygen exposure reprograms lung development and cardiopulmonary health.

Research from my lab has shown how mitochondrial superoxide produced during hyperoxia damages DNA, thereby activating SMG1 and ATM kinases controlling p53-dependent expression of the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p21. Although p21 is best known for its ability to inhibit proliferation, my lab was the first to show that it protects against oxidative stress independent of cell cycle arrest through maintenance of anti-apoptotic proteins of the Bcl-2 family. P21 has now emerged to be one of the most abundantly expressed genes in many forms of lung injury.

The preterm birth of my son reminded me of my graduate training experience where I contributed to the understanding of surfactant biology and witnessed the excitement of a Neonatology fellow who used it to successfully treat a preterm infant for the first time. Using mice and human tissues as a model system, I have spent the past 15 years investigating how the oxygen environment at birth influences cardiopulmonary health later in life. My lab has shown how early-life oxygen exposure alters differentiation of alveolar epithelial cells, the host response to influenza A virus infection, reduces cognitive performance, and promotes age-dependent pulmonary hypertension and heart failure that can shorten lifespan. RNA-seq studies, genetic lineage mapping in mice, and investigation of human tissues are currently being used to understand how neonatal oxygen causes disease via metabolic reprogramming of stem/progenitor cells.
