About Christine A. Rogers

Dr. Rogers research focuses on human exposure to airborne biological material and resulting health effects in both indoor and outdoor environments. As an aerobiologist, she studies “the microbiology of the atmosphere” and is interested in all aspects of the aerobiological pathway including source, release, dispersal, transport, deposition and impact of bioaerosols. She investigates exposure to allergenic proteins and other components from pollen grains, fungal spores, pets, rodents, and insects. Her two main areas of intensive research focus are 1) the impact of global climate change on allergic disease from changes in the production and allergenicity of aeroallergens such as ragweed and grass pollen, and fungal spores e.g. Alternaria, and 2) measuring chitin in environmental samples and examining the role of chitin exposure and human chitinases in the development and exacerbation of asthma.
