Research InterestMy main clinical specialties are radiation treatment of lung cancer and head & neck cancer, and I serve as the thoracic radiation oncology program leader. My research interests include 4-D multimodality imaging to capture and compensate for breathing-induced motion using CT, PET, and MR; novel functional/metabolic imaging methods to characterize tumor biology; high-precision image-guided radiation therapy including 4-D IMRT, dynamic arc therapy, and radiosurgery.

Research InterestIn clinical research, Dr. Shrager has been an innovator studying outcomes in a variety of areas within Thoracic Surgery including: parenchyma-sparing operations and minimally invasive resections for lung cancer, transcervical thymectomy for myasthenia gravis, and surgical treatment of emphysema. In the lab, Dr. Shrager is focused on the impact of disease states upon the diaphragm. His group published the seminal paper (NEJM) describing diaphragm atrophy assoc'd with mechanical ventilation.

Research InterestDr. Upadhyay examines the molecular link between ‘Airway Inflammation and Lung Cancer’. We study nicotine stimulation-induced genes that cause escape from oxidative stress mediated Lung Senescence and development of lung cancer and cancer stem cells, and utilizes microRNA analysis for early diagnose of lung cancer in COPD/ smokers. By using exhaled breath condensates and human airway tissue, we examine the genes regulating airway inflammation in a complex duo of ‘Asthma and obesity’.
