Rodney D. Britt

Rodney D. Britt's research focuses on the biology of airway smooth muscle and lung disease, particularly how a receptor called the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) influences airway remodeling, mitochondrial function, and inflammation in asthma. His work also extends to related areas such as lung development, cystic fibrosis, bronchopulmonary dysplasia in infants, and immune cell involvement in chronic lung inflammation. Students would be working with someone engaged in cellular and molecular mechanisms of respiratory disease, using mouse models and human airway tissue studies.

Publication output has grown somewhat unevenly over the past decade, rising from a handful of papers per year around 2017-2018 to a higher and fairly steady output of roughly 9-15 papers annually since 2019.
