Biography
Dr. Kopp’s NIH- and CFF-funded research program focuses on innate immune regulation of chronic lung disease in children with CF and sickle cell. An emerging arm of this research includes how environmental health influences chronic immune dysregulation and inflammation. The lab uses human translational models to study basic mechanisms and test therapeutics. Dr. Kopp’s advocacy and public health efforts center on increasing care for underserved populations and policies to prevent environmental impacts on respiratory health.
