Giles F Filley
I am humbled to receive the 2026 Giles F. Filley Award from the American Physiological Society for Excellence in Respiratory Physiology and Medicine. This wouldn't be possible without the dedication and hard work of all the trainees who have participated in our studies. What an achievement team!
RESEARCH
The fundamental hypothesis guiding our work is that respiratory afferents induce spinal plasticity and facilitate remodeling within the respiratory neural network. Our laboratory uses a multi-disciplinary approach including behavioral studies, neurophysiological preparations, and molecular techniques to investigate the functional significance and therapeutic potential of respiratory afferent activation, with the ultimate goal of identifying novel rehabilitative strategies to improve cardiorespiratory control following cervical spinal cord injury
