    After 25 years of private practice sleep and pulmonary medicine, I joined the faculty of Howard University in June 2015 as Medical Director of the Sleep Disorders Center.
    .
    Current research interests include:
    1. Evaluation of the prevalence and physiologic impact of sleep disordered breathing in sickle cell disease
    2. Effective community outreach strategies to promote recognition and compliance with treatment of sleep apnea in underserved populations
    3. Evaluation of the small airways and pulmonary resistance using techniques such as impulse oscillometry and airflow perturbation devices
    4. Sleep patterns and associated metabolic effects in African immigrants

    PMC Citations indicate the number of times the publication was cited by articles in PubMed Central, and the Altmetric score represents citations in news articles and social media. (Note that publications are often cited in additional ways that are not shown here.) Fields are based on how the National Library of Medicine (NLM) classifies the publication's journal and might not represent the specific topic of the publication. Translation tags are based on the publication type and the MeSH terms NLM assigns to the publication. Some publications (especially newer ones and publications not in PubMed) might not yet be assigned Field or Translation tags.) Click a Field or Translation tag to filter the publications.
