Samuel J. Cochran studies indoor environmental exposures, particularly fungi and microbial contaminants in household dust, and their links to childhood asthma and allergies. Much of the work centers on a pediatric asthma cohort in New York City, examining how seasonal changes in humidity and temperature affect indoor fungal communities and respiratory health. The research also includes methodological work on detecting and measuring microbial DNA in indoor settings like carpets.
