A. Brent Carter, M.D.
Associate Professor
Dr. Carter's clinical interests include asthma, interstitial lung disease, and acute lung injury. His research interests include studies related to the regulation of inflammatory responses that occur in the lung in models of acute lung injury and asbestos-induced lung disease. These studies include investigations dealing with the role of reactive oxygen species in the development of inflammatory response and the regulation of the signal transduction pathways that lead to cytokine gene expression in monocytes and macrophages exposed to asbestos. This work is supported by a Merit Grant from the Department of Veteran’s Affairs and a Career Investigator Award from the American Lung Association.
