Research Interests:
Epidemiology of occupational lung disease, Asthma outcomes and Occupational toxicology
Summary:
Dr. Blanc's research addresses the impact of work-related and environmental exposures on human health, in particular respiratory diseases such as asthma, and COPD. His work focuses on the role that such exposures can play in causing disease and also how ongoing stressors can aggravate pre-existing disease and lead to disability.
