Dr.
Camargo is an Assistant Professor at Harvard Medical School, an emergency
physician at Massachusetts General Hospital, and a research epidemiologist at
Brigham and Women's Hospital. Dr Camargo has a doctoral degree in epidemiology,
and his early research focused on the health effects of moderate alcohol consumption.
In more recent years, he has turned his attention to asthma and chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). At the Channing Laboratory, he works on
several large cohorts, looking at risk factors for asthma/COPD in approximately
350,000 Americans. Dr. Camargo also chairs the Steering Committee of the Multi-center
Airway Research Collaboration (MARC), a network involving more than 100
emergency departments across North America. Dr. Camargo is a member of the
National Asthma Education and Prevention Program (NAEPP) Coordinating Committee,
and the Cochrane Collaboration. The overall goal of these activities is to
identify new approaches for primary prevention and to improve the treatment of
asthma/COPD exacerbations.
