Co-Director of IHSFC Dr. Putcha is a pulmonary and critical care physician. She is an expert in the diagnosis and treatment of lung disease (specifically obstructive lung diseases such as COPD and asthma), and in the care of critically ill patients in the Medical ICU. She is a member of the Lung Research Conference Planning Committee and provides teaching to medical students and residents at Johns Hopkins. Dr. Putcha is interested in the role of comorbidities on clinical outcomes in the population with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). She has studied the impact of specific comorbidities such as asthma, allergic disease, and anemia, on COPD outcomes, but has also studied the general burden of comorbidities with regards to COPD outcomes. She has also studied the impacts of the home environment, including secondhand smoke exposure as well as home allergen exposures with outcomes in COPD. Currently, Dr. Putcha is examining the effect of allergen sensitization and exposure on exacerbations and symptoms in COPD. Her long-term goal is to understand intrinsic and environmental drivers of heightened symptoms and exacerbations in COPD.

EXPOSURE CHARACTERIZATION AND MODELING CORE The goal of the Exposure Characterization and Modeling Core (ECMC ) is to understand how exposures to environmental factors can impact the health of communities and to translate our findings into action to protect and promote the health and well-being of vulnerable communities in the CHARMED region. We will provide researchers and their community partners with expertise to deploy appropriate exposure assessment technologies, cutting-edge characterization facilities for environmental samples, state-of-the-art spatiotemporal modeling capability, and consulting services for interpreting exposure data. What can the ECMC do for researchers? The ECMC provides comprehensive infrastructure for exposure assessment in air, water, and biological samples. We will provide consultation and guidance to determine measurement needs, deploy appropriate sampling methodology, analyze samples, conduct statistical data analysis, and facilitate results interpretation. We can also work with researchers to develop new and innovative exposure assessment solutions to address emerging problems. For laboratory-based researchers, we can help with establishing protocols for exposure assessment in cellular or animal models. Finally, for projects where measurements may not be the best approach, we can help with modeling of exposures through air quality models, spatial statistics, and other tools. ​ To learn more about services we offer, click here ​ What can the ECMC do for community members? We can connect you with researchers to address environmental exposures of concern in your community. We can help deploy lower-cost sensor networks, collect samples for detailed chemical analysis, or develop models to estimate exposures under different scenarios. ​ To contact a researcher about an environmental concern, click he re Figure: Exposure Characterization Modeling Core and relationship to other Cores in CHARMED. contact me Contact Me 615 N Wolfe Street, Baltimore MD 21205 First Name Last Name Email Address Company Subject Type your message here...

Charles St. Baltimore, MD 21218 Mail pdecarl1@jhu.edu Globe https://engineering.jhu.edu/faculty/peter-decarlo/ Peter DeCarlo, Ph D Co-Director of IHSFC Peter DeCarlo, an associate professor of environmental health and engineering, studies atmospheric air pollution with applications to ambient air quality, including atmospheric aerosols and emissions from anthropogenic activities including natural gas development. He has published extensively in the areas of atmospheric aerosols (particulate matter), air quality, and climate and performed air quality measurements all over the world, and visited with many Congressional offices to discuss climate change and air quality issues. DeCarlo received his PhD in Atmospheric Science from the University of Colorado and earned a postdoctoral fellowship at the Paul Scherrer Institute in Switzerland and an AAAS Science Policy Fellowship in Washington D.C.
