Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Zena Ghazala's research focuses on pediatric respiratory and hematologic conditions, with a particular emphasis on sickle cell disease and cystic fibrosis. She has investigated the impact of race-neutral predictive equations on spirometry results in children with sickle cell disease and examined preoperative vaping screening in pediatric patients. Her work also includes studies on managing chronic respiratory failure in bronchopulmonary dysplasia using a volume-targeted approach and exploring rare conditions presenting as acute respiratory failure, such as adenoviral infection-induced diffuse alveolar hemorrhage or inborn errors of immunity.

Ghazala collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including M. Pertzborn, Ariel Berlinski, Erhan Ararat, and Amit Agarwal. Her scholarly contributions include over 20 publications and an h-index of 2.
