Dr. Thomas Ferkol

I am a pediatric pulmonologist with over thirty years of experience, who has special expertise in suppurative lung diseases, like cystic fibrosis, primary ciliary dyskinesia, and non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis. My research has largely focused of genetic and molecular factors that contribute to chronic airway infection, inflammation, and epithelial injury, with nearly thirty-years of continuous funding from the National Institutes of Health. I have also authored or co-written over 200 original articles, scholarly reviews, and book chapters on these and other pulmonary conditions that affect children and adolescents.
