Elisabeth P. Dellon, MD, MPH

Professor of Pediatrics
Medical Director, Children’s Supportive Care Team
Director, UNC Cystic Fibrosis Center

Cystic fibrosis in children and adults; lung transplantation; and other chronic lung disorders.

My primary research interest is the impact of cystic fibrosis (CF) on quality of life throughout the lifespan, improvements in care for patients with advanced CF lung disease and decision-making about medical treatments for patients with CF.

My other research interests are pediatric palliative care and coordination of medical care for children with special health care needs

Marianne Muhlebach, MD

Professor of Pediatrics

My research has focused on cystic fibrosis for many years. Within this a special point are infections (MRSA, anaerobic bacteria) spanning from children to adults. Areas include early onset inflammation in the lungs occurring as part of CF disease and markers of disease severity i.e. search and development of biomarkers.

Other research interests include biomarkers of CF lung disease to detect and measure disease severity earlier and more sensitive than by lung function testing, and Microbiome i.e. the breath of bacteria in CF and non-CF.

Terry L. Noah, MD

Chief, Division of Pediatric Pulmonology
Jacob A. Lohr, MD Distinguished Professor of Pediatrics
Vice Chair, Department of Pediatrics

My research interests involve working with collaborators at the UNC Center for Environmental Medicine, Asthma and Lung Biology. I have helped develop a useful research model for translational studies investigating the effects of air pollutants on respiratory viral infections in human volunteers.  This model became a core feature of two NIH R01 grants in collaboration with Dr. Ilona Jaspers.
