Pulmonary & Respiratory Medicine

Etienne Roux

Biography

Etienne Roux first worked on the study of the reactivity of the airways and pulmonary arteries, combining an experimental approach on cells, isolated tissues and whole animal, with a theoretical computational approach. His work focused on the identification of intracellular pathways of excitation-contraction of bronchial and arterial smooth muscle. Changes in the reactivity of the airways and pulmonary arteries have been studied in various pathologies such as exposure to air pollutants, asthma, and chronic hypoxia.

Research Interest

  His research is based on mechanisms of airway reactivity, relationship between the structural pattern and the functional properties of vascular network, combining experimental investigation with theoretical modelling.
