Biography

Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia

Research

Dr. Maniscalco studies pulmonary microvascular development in lung injury. Using various animal models, including a non-human primate model of BPD, this work examines the effects of oxygen and ventilation of immature lung on the development of alveolar capillaries. The major goals of the research are to characterize microvascular development in lung injury and investigate angiogenic and angiostatic regulators in normal and injured lung. Recent work has linked expression of inflammatory CXC chemokine mediators, which regulate angiogenesis and are part of the pathophysiology of BPD, to impaired lung microangiogenesis.
