Dr. Stoltz's clinical interests include general pulmonary diseases. His research focuses on the pathogenesis of cystic fibrosis related airway infections with a particular emphasis on studying antimicrobial properties of the airway epithelial cells, the role of paraoxonases (PONs) on Pseudomonas aeruginosa quorum-sensing regulation, the influence of genetic polymorphisms on the molecular regulation of PON2 function, and the development of models to study lung mucociliary clearance.
