Dr. Piantadosi’s research focuses on regulation of oxidative metabolism, oxidative stress, nitric oxide and carbon monoxide in the lung and other tissues with an emphasis on the biology of mitochondria. A portion of the work is also devoted to understanding the oxidative and nitrosative molecular mechanisms of damage and responses to acute lung injury.
