His research interests lie in environmental pollutants, airborne particulate matter, ozone and carbon monoxide. However, since arriving at Beth Israel, he is active in propelling and challenging the paradoxical use of low dose carbon monoxide (CO). CO, once viewed and stigmatized as a toxic molecule, has now emerged in the last 10 years with potential therapeutic applications; its pleiotropic effects encompass roles ranging from that of an immunosuppressive agent to that of a host defense molecule. His current research is focused on elucidating the mechanism whereby exogenous administration of CO protects against a murine model of sepsis; most notably that induced by Enterococci faecalis.
