RESEARCH INTERESTS: Mechanisms of disease and development of novel strategies for diagnosis and therapy based on improved understanding of how respiratory diseases arise. Current projects examine the accumulation of cells during pulmonary inflammation and the structural consequences of chronic inflammation. Clinical research examines the potential for lung cancer to be detected using the examination of sputum. In collaboration with Dr. John Miller of the Division of Thoracic Surgery, Dr. Cox is examining the potential role of bronchial thermoplasty (a bronchoscopic procedure) as a treatment for asthma.
In addition to general respirology, Dr. Cox has a special interest in interstitial lung diseases such as sarcoidosis and pulmonary fibrosis.

Dr. Cox qualified in 1981 from UCD, Ireland. He trained in respiratory medicine at McMaster University and continued training in basic science at McMaster University and at the University of Iowa, Iowa City. He joined the faculty at McMaster University in 1992 where he continued his research into the basic mechanisms that control inflammation during respiratory diseases. Currently, he is Head of Acute Clinical Services at the Firestone Institute for Respiratory Health, at St. Joseph’s Healthcare Hamilton. In addition, he is President of the Canadian Thoracic Society.
In addition to general respirology, Dr. Cox has a special interest in interstitial lung diseases such as sarcoidosis and pulmonary fibrosis. In association with Dr. Martin Kolb, he runs a dedicated clinic at FIRH-SJHH, caring for patients with these uncommon disorders.
