Description of Research Expertise

A recipient of a Masters degree in Clinical Epidemiology and Biostatistics, Dr. Kreider studies risk factors for both the development of Interstitial Lung Diseases and for poor outcome. She is an active participant in several drug trials for patients both with pulmonary fibrosis and sarcoidosis. In addition she participates in studies of patients with Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM).
