Wayne J. Morgan

Dr. Wayne J. Morgan is a Professor in the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Arizona and serves as Program Director of the Pediatric Pulmonary Fellowship. He is also a Research Scientist at the Arizona Asthma and Airway Disease Research Center (A2DRC), focusing on respiratory diseases in children.

Dr. Morgan's research interests span asthma and wheezing illnesses in infants and children, cystic fibrosis, asthma epidemiology and pathophysiology, and data safety monitoring board processes. His work bridges clinical practice and observational research to understand early-life determinants of chronic respiratory conditions.

His recent publications emphasize longitudinal studies on asthma origins, cystic fibrosis treatment efficacy, and environmental factors influencing pediatric lung health. Key themes include biomarker analysis (e.g., CC16 protein trajectories), therapeutic risk assessment, and sleep-related respiratory impairments in congenital heart disease.

Dr. Morgan has served as Principal Investigator or co-Investigator in multiple clinical trials, including studies on oral bacterial extract for asthma prevention and modulator therapies for cystic fibrosis. His collaborations span institutions like the University of Arizona and multicenter networks in respiratory research.
