Pulmonary Effects of E-cigarettes: Vaping-Associated Lung Injury and Beyond
Carolyn S. Calfee, MD MAS is Professor of Medicine and Anesthesia at the University of California, San Francisco, where she attends in the intensive care units. She completed her undergraduate studies at Yale University and medical school at University of Pennsylvania before coming to UCSF for her residency, chief residency, and fellowship training, as well as her Masters in Clinical Research. Her primary academic focus is the pathogenesis and treatment of the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Her areas of research interest include molecular subphenotypes of ARDS and precision medicine in critical care; the role of environmental exposures including smoking, air pollution, and novel tobacco products in susceptibility to lung injury; and novel treatments for ARDS.
Jeff Gotts, MD/PhD is an Assistant Professor of Medicine at the University of California, San Francisco, where he is the co-director of the Medical ICU and attends in the Pulmonary Function Lab. He completed his undergraduate studies at the University of Texas and medical and graduate school at UCLA before coming to UCSF for his residency and fellowship training. His research interests include clinical trials in ARDS/Sepsis and basic science investigations of bacterial and viral pneumonia. Over the last 5 years he has worked to develop more clinically relevant animal models of pneumonia focusing on mechanisms of injury and recovery. Finally he has a research focus on the acute pulmonary effects of tobacco products, including the effects of e-cigarettes on infection-related acute lung injury
