AREAS OF RESEARCH
 Dr. Hobbs' primary research interests are the long-term biological effects of inhaled materials and the mechanisms by which they occur. His experience covers inhaled nuclear and chemical toxicants as well as infectious diseases. Research in these areas has ranged from physical and chemical characterization of airborne toxicants to in vitro mechanistic and toxicologic studies and long-term studies in laboratory animals of the relationships between dose to critical tissues and resulting biological effects and the important mechanisms active in determining these relationships. Dr. Hobbs has also been heavily involved in research management. He has focused on the direction and use of multidisciplinary teams of personnel to address complex problems
