Dr. Porter is interested in the clinical management and the pathogenesis of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF). IPF is an incurable and invariably fatal illness, in which lung fibroblast-to-myofibroblast transformation and the pathologic development of fibroblast foci are believed to play critical roles. Myofibroblasts are believed to be the specialized cells responsible for collagen formation and the fibrotic destruction of alveolar lung units. The presence and numbers of fibroblast foci have been directly correlated with mortality in IPF. He is currently a recipient of a CTSI pilot proposal grant investigating novel cell-cell interactions responsible for myofibroblast activation, as well as attempting to identify novel biomarkers which can be used to monitor disease progression and response to therapy.

He is a previous recipient of a Kirchenstein NRSA grant investigating the role of Heat Shock Protein 70 as an anti-inflammatory agent in preventing myofibroblast activation.

I truly believe I have the best doctor ever. Dr. Porter listens to me and explains everything in easy to understand detail, He answers all of my questions. He includes me in what steps we can take to keep me on track with my allergy and asthma issues. I never feel rushed or feel any of my questions are trivial. He's genuinely concerned, thorough, and knowledgeable. I find it hard to suggest anything he could improve on.
