Dr. Rozenberg’s research aims to understand the impact of physical fitness and skeletal muscle dysfunction on daily physical function, quality of life, frailty, health care use, and survival before and after lung transplantation. Dr. Rozenberg is applying novel imaging techniques and non-invasive measures to quantify muscle mass, strength and physical function to gain a greater understanding of the functional impairments experienced by transplant patients and their response to rehabilitation. Dr. Rozenberg is looking to translate his clinical expertise and passion for exercise training to improve health outcomes in individuals with lung disease and across the multi-organ transplant program.
