Dr. Suber is a pulmonary and critical care physician whose focus areas include acute respiratory distress syndrome, sepsis, and bacterial pulmonary infections including Klebsiella pneumoniae and Streptococcal pneumoniae. As a researcher, she studies host defense mechanisms in intrapulmonary bacterial infections that lead to acute respiratory distress syndrome. She has also studied how regulation of protein stability by the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway modulates lung epithelial responses during inflammation.
