Dr. Bon’s academic and research interests focus on the investigation of musculoskeletal comorbidities in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Dr. Bon’s research has concentrated on the role that inflammation and autoimmunity play in COPD-related bone loss. She has shown that radiographic emphysema independently predicts low bone mineral density in smokers and has identified novel autoimmune responses in smokers that are linked to emphysema-related bone loss.

Dr. Bon’s clinical interests are focused on the management and treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). In her outpatient pulmonary practice, she evaluates patients for lung volume reduction surgery and manages patients with difficult to treat and severe COPD.
