Research Focus: Dr. Seeley's research spans interventional pulmonology techniques, sepsis pathophysiology, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), and lung cancer diagnostics. His NIH-funded research examines the regulation of innate immunity during sepsis. He actively participates in clinical trials exploring bronchoscopic lung volume reduction and advanced airway interventions.

Publication Trends: His extensive publication record demonstrates consistent focus on interventional pulmonology innovations, critical care management strategies, and sepsis research. Recent works highlight advancements in pleural disease management, bronchoscopic techniques, and molecular diagnostics in lung cancer.

Awards and Honors:

• Best Abstract Sepsis 2012, International Sepsis Meeting
• UCSF Professionalism Award (2007)
• UCSF Resident Teaching Award (2007)

Academic Leadership: As Principal Investigator of the NIH grant K08HL111202 (2012-2017), Dr. Seeley investigated sympathetic nervous system regulation of immunity during sepsis. He leads UCSF's interventional pulmonary services and trains medical professionals in critical care ultrasound.

Clinical Programs: Dr. Seeley established UCSF's dedicated Interventional Pulmonary Clinic, streamlining lung cancer diagnostics and complex airway management. He coordinates multidisciplinary care in ICU settings for patients with respiratory failure and septic shock.
