John Daniel Shelburne
Professor Emeritus of Pathology

Our group has maintained and refined a state of the art analytical electron microscopy laboratory. Research by different members of our group focuses on the following major areas: pathophysiology of the pneumoconioses, cell pathology of laser damage, and correlative microprobe analysis (comparing conventional microprobe analysis with new techniques such as using the free electron laser or FEL).
