Edward M. Postlethwait, PhD., Professor  - Research and academic interests are founded in pulmonary toxicology and free radical biochemistry, with current efforts primarily focused on delineating the mechanisms by which inhaled oxidants interact with the lung surface to initiate epithelial injury, how environmental oxidants impact lung growth and development, and what factors may govern the extent and distribution of exposure-related cellular perturbations. To address these issues, research endeavors incorporate aspects of physiology, quantitative morphology and image analysis, oxidant and antioxidant biochemistry, pharmacokinetics, dosimetry, and chemical engineering.

Giuseppe L. Squadrito, PhD., Research Associate Professor - Development, design and evaluation of dynamic multi-component molecular systems that can be used to understand the effects of oxidants in biological systems of various degrees of complexity. Such systems include reactions of smog, combustion-associated, and naturally produced oxidants and free radicals with biological target molecules, the covalent modifications that they induce and the cellular responses that ensue, and the protection by natural and synthetic antioxidants, antioxidant enzymes, and free radical scavengers.
