Research Overview

Dr. Cleveland's research is directed at pediatric pulmonary disorders with a specific focus on cystic fibrosis. His ultimate goal is to establish a large data base of radiologic measures by which to mark disease progression in CF patients. He aims to use this data base to provide baseline comparison against which the effectiveness of emerging techniques for managing CF may be assessed. He envisions it also serving as a baseline for determining the specific factors that increase the rate of decline in lung status of CF patients.
