Scientific Interests
Dr. Lopes-Pacheco’s research is focused on translational medicine for respiratory diseases with specific aims at: 1) understanding the molecular and cellular mechanisms that lead to dysfunction and/or premature degradation of CFTR mutants, 2) developing novel pharmacological therapies for cystic fibrosis (CF), and 3) investigating cell-based and gene-based therapies for respiratory diseases (ARDS/ALI, asthma, CF, COPD/emphysema, silicosis).
