T32 Mentors


We have an extensive and varied  team of mentors from units across the institution. Mentors prepare our trainees to transition to a multidisciplinary, research oriented team science faculty position. We have an extensive and varied  team of mentors from units across the institution. Each mentor's research falls into at least one of the 5 focus areas of our T32:  

  • Acute Respiratory Failure and Recovery

  • Airway Disorders

  • Fibrotic, Interstitial,  and Occupational Lung Disease

  • Lung Cancer

  • Pulmonary Vascular Disorders
