Research summary
AI-generated

Robert S. Stearman studies lung diseases using molecular and genomic approaches. A major focus is pulmonary arterial hypertension (high blood pressure in the lung's arteries), where the research examines the cellular and genetic mechanisms driving the disease, and there is additional work on early (premalignant) changes in airway tissue and the lung tumor microenvironment. The work often applies large-scale techniques such as gene expression profiling, multiomics, and genome-wide analysis.

Collaborators per year
Distinct co-authors at Indiana University each year — a rough indication of whether the group around this researcher has been growing or contracting. An estimate from co-authorship, not a roster: collaborators are not necessarily lab members, and recent years can be under-counted while indexing catches up.
