Justin Turner is a tenured Professor and the John S. Odess Chair of the UAB Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery. Prior to joining UAB, Dr. Turner spent more than a decade at Vanderbilt University Medical Center as a surgeon-scientist. His clinical practice is focused on management of inflammatory sinus disease and skull base neoplasms. The Turner lab performs basic and translational research into chronic inflammatory airway diseases such as chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS), allergic rhinitis, and asthma, and investigates basic mechanisms of olfactory loss in humans. The lab has been awarded more than 6 million dollars in research funding and has been continuously supported through the National Institutes of Health since 2014. Current research areas of interest include understanding effects of aging on sinonasal immunity and disease pathophysiology, characterization of inflammatory CRS endotypes, and identification of predictive biomarkers in patients with airway disease.
