Overview

Julian Zielenski was affiliated with the University of Toronto in Canada. Their research focused primarily on cystic fibrosis, addressing genetic and physiological aspects related to the disease.

Their work contributed to the field of Medicine, particularly within the subfields of Pulmonary and Respiratory Medicine, Genetics, and Nutrition and Dietetics. Key topics covered in their research included:

  • Cystic Fibrosis Research Advances
  • Respiratory Support and Mechanisms
  • Digestive system and related health
  • Infant Nutrition and Health

Zielenski published multiple papers between 2020 and 2020, with all papers appearing in UNC Libraries. Notable publications included:

  • Multiple apical plasma membrane constituents are associated with susceptibility to meconium ileus in individuals with cystic fibrosis (2020, UNC Libraries)
  • Genetic modifiers of lung disease in cystic fibrosis (2020, UNC Libraries)
  • Genome-wide association and linkage identify modifier loci of lung disease severity in cystic fibrosis at 11p13 and 20q13.2 (2020, UNC Libraries)
  • A novel lung disease phenotype adjusted for mortality attrition for cystic fibrosis Genetic modifier studies (2020, UNC Libraries)

Zielenski frequently collaborated with several co-authors, who appeared in multiple publications together. These included Ruslan Dorfman, Mary Corey, Rhonda G. Pace, Weili Li, and Scott M. Blackman.
