He is also professor of medicine at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. On 9/11, Dr. Prezant responded to the World Trade Center and was present during the collapse and its aftermath. Since that day, he has worked to initiate a multimillion- dollar medical monitoring and treatment program for FDNY firefighters funded by FDNY, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH). His major research interest is in determining the mechanisms responsible for accelerated decline in longitudinal pulmonary function and/or airway hyperreactivity in firefighters after WTC exposure. Other interests are in determining the mechanisms responsible for the increased incidence of sarcoidosis in firefighters after WTC exposure.vizualizați mai puține
