Sonye Danoff Lab
- Research in the Sonye Danoff Lab includes both basic and translational studies of lung fibrosis. We have explored topics such as the role of support measures and palliative care, pulmonary manifestations of Sjogren's syndrome, idiopathic inflammatory myopathies and the treatment of cough in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. Our research has also involved investigating the lung as a potential target for the immune reaction in myositis.
Research Summary
Dr. Danoff’s research focus is on factors that increase an individual’s risk of interstitial lung disease (ILD). These include genetic factors as in familial interstitial lung disease, as well as race, gender and autoantibody status in autoimmune myositis-associated ILD. In addition to understanding these risks, Dr. Danoff’s research focuses on optimizing treatment for patients with ILD by evaluating traditional outcome measures such as lung function and imaging as well as patient reported outcomes. Dr. Danoff is working in collaboration with Dr. Mathai in the pulmonary hypertension group to evaluate patients with both ILD and PH in order to better understand the impact on patient outcome and to develop better tailored therapies.
