Research
Both clinical and in vitro studies are under way to investigate the clinical course, epideniology and mechanisms underlying airway diseases (asthma and bronchitis-like syndromes) that are seen in workers in a number of different industries. These industries employ organic compounds such as latex paper, wool, cotton, food products, and industrial wastes.

Industry Relationships
Physicians and scientists on the faculty of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai often interact with pharmaceutical, device, biotechnology companies, and other outside entities to improve patient care, develop new therapies and achieve scientific breakthroughs. In order to promote an ethical and transparent environment for conducting research, providing clinical care and teaching, Mount Sinai requires that salaried faculty inform the School of their outside financial relationships.
Below are financial relationships with industry reported by Dr. Schachter during 2024 and/or 2025. Please note that this information may differ from information posted on corporate sites due to timing or classification differences.
