Thivanka Muthumalage studies how inhaled substances like cigarette smoke and e-cigarette (vaping) vapor damage the lungs, using cell and mouse models to examine inflammation, cellular aging (senescence), and DNA/tissue damage. Much of the work compares flavored versus unflavored e-cigarette products and explores biological pathways such as telomere-protective proteins and immune cell responses that may explain smoking- and vaping-related lung disease. This research is relevant to students interested in respiratory toxicology, tobacco/e-cigarette health effects, and the molecular biology of lung aging and injury.
Publication output peaked sharply around 2020-2021 and has since declined and leveled off to a slower, steadier pace in recent years.
