William D. Bennett Email & Phone Number

Currently I am Professor of Medicine in the Center for Environmental Medicine, Asthma and Lung Biology (CEMALB) at the University of North Carolina (UNC) at Chapel Hill, where I’ve been a faculty member since 1988. I received my PhD in Environmental Health Sciences from the Johns Hopkins University School of Hygiene in 1983 and was a postdoctoral fellow/junior faculty at State University of New York at StonyBrook before coming to UNC. My general research interests are directed towards understanding particle deposition and clearance in the healthy and diseased lung. Having trained in both aerosol physics and pulmonary physiology, I have devoted much of my research efforts towards using aerosols as a tool for studying lung physiology, e.g. assessing therapeutic benefits of inhaled drugs on mucociliary clearance. In support of the US Environmental Protection Agency research agenda, I have also directed CEMALB research on particulate (PM10) dosimetry in healthy and potentially susceptible individuals. I served on the board and as President of the International Society for Aerosols in Medicine (ISAM) that is dedicated to all aspects of aerosol research in medicine. I am also an active member of the American Thoracic Society and American Physiological Society, serving as a frequent reviewer for their respective journals.Specialties: Mucociliary and Cough ClearanceAerosol delivery to the lungParticle dosimetry in the lung
