Meghan E. Rebuli

Meghan E. Rebuli is a Research Assistant Professor at the University of North Carolina School of Medicine, focusing on sex-specific effects of air pollutants and tobacco products on pulmonary health. Her work explores how genetic and hormonal factors interact with respiratory toxicants to alter health outcomes, utilizing nasal biomarkers and translational cell culture models (in vitro and ex vivo).

Research Interests:

• Investigating the impact of environmental toxicants on respiratory immune status
• Sex-dependent responses to ozone and wildfire smoke exposure
• Developing nasal biomarkers for population-level health assessments

Publication Trends: Her recent articles (2024–2025) emphasize air pollution, wildfire smoke, vaping toxicity, and environmental health disparities, with a focus on immunomodulation, oxidative stress, and epithelial cell dysfunction.
