Their work spans several subfields including Pulmonary and Respiratory Medicine, Molecular Biology, Immunology, Cancer Research, and Infectious Diseases.

The scientist's research addresses key areas within pulmonary medicine, particularly Interstitial Lung Diseases and Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis. They also contribute to topics such as Single-cell and spatial transcriptomics, Medical Imaging and Pathology Studies, Neonatal Respiratory Health Research, IL-33, ST2, and ILC Pathways, Extracellular vesicles in disease, and Pulmonary Hypertension Research and Treatments.

Kaminski has frequently published in venues that emphasize respiratory and biomedical sciences. The most recurrent publication platforms include bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory) with 62 publications, the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine with 30 papers, Nature Communications and the European Respiratory Journal each with 8 publications, and the CHEST Journal with 7 publications.

Among recent notable publications are:

  • "SARS-CoV-2 Receptor ACE2 Is an Interferon-Stimulated Gene in Human Airway Epithelial Cells and Is Detected in Specific Cell Subsets across Tissues" (2020, Cell)
  • "Single-cell RNA-seq reveals ectopic and aberrant lung-resident cell populations in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis" (2020, Science Advances)
  • "Collagen-producing lung cell atlas identifies multiple subsets with distinct localization and relevance to fibrosis" (2020, Nature Communications)
  • "An integrated cell atlas of the lung in health and disease" (2023, Nature Medicine)
  • "Distinguishing features of long COVID identified through immune profiling" (2023, Nature)

Kaminski collaborates regularly with several co-authors, including Taylor Adams, Jonas C. Schupp, Xiting Yan, Farida Ahangari, and Iván O. Rosas, with frequent joint publications highlighting ongoing research partnerships.
