Brian W. Fouty

Brian W. Fouty is a Professor in the Department of Pharmacology at the University of South Alabama College of Medicine. His research focuses on pulmonary vascular repair mechanisms in acute lung injury (ALI) and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), particularly examining the roles of glucose metabolism and hypoxia in endothelial-alveolar barrier restoration.

• Education: M.D. from University of Washington Medical School, Seattle
• Postdoctoral Training: University of Arizona Health Sciences Center, University of Colorado Health Sciences Center

Current research in his lab investigates how hypoxia and metabolic factors influence pulmonary microcirculation repair, with implications for treating severe respiratory conditions. Recent publications explore RNA-based vaccines, hypoxia-induced cell survival pathways, and electrolyte regulation through pharmacological inhibition.

Key collaborations span molecular biology, infectious disease modeling, and critical care medicine. His work often combines in vitro studies with animal models to translate findings to clinical contexts.
