Christopher Carlsten
Professor
Chris is interested in the effects of occupational and environmental exposure on respiratory diseases such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), cancer, and pleural disease. His laboratory leverages the power of controlled human exposure methodology and high-dimensional molecular analysis to focus on the respiratory and immunological health effects of inhaled environmental and occupational threats, using diesel exhaust, western red cedar, and phthalates as model inhalants. Chris is a Canada Research Chair (Tier 2) in Occupational and Environmental Lung Disease.
