Dr. McColley's research focuses on cystic fibrosis in pediatric populations, with expertise spanning newborn screening protocols, health disparities in CF care, evaluation of CFTR modulator therapies (e.g., elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor), and development of innovative diagnostic tools including wearable sweat sensors. She actively integrates global health perspectives to improve early diagnosis and equitable access to care for children with CF worldwide.
Analysis of her recent publications reveals consistent emphasis on clinical trials of CFTR modulators across age groups, systematic reviews establishing newborn screening guidelines, and interdisciplinary approaches combining AI and sensor technology for objective disease monitoring. Her work consistently addresses racial and socioeconomic disparities in CF outcomes through collaborative public health partnerships.
Dr. McColley contributes to significant grant-funded initiatives including Northwestern's $16 million grant for faculty recruitment equity and leads projects fostering partnerships between public health programs and CF centers to optimize newborn screening implementation. She actively mentors through the Chicago Kids Advisory Board, engaging adolescents in research design, and develops AI education resources for the learning health system.
