We constantly strive to deliver the best family-centered, cutting-edge pediatric pulmonary care in close association with local primary care providers.

The Pediatric Pulmonary division currently has nine faculty members and three fellows. Many of our faculty members are recognized as leaders in their field and have received both local and national awards. Building on our solid clinical platform, we provide training for fellows, residents, Harvard Medical School students and healthcare professionals.

Other Pediatric Pulmonary Programs

Special services in the Division of Pediatric Pulmonary include the Pediatric Pulmonary Function Laboratory, cardiopulmonary exercise testing, Sleep Laboratory, sweat testing and fiberoptic bronchoscopy.

A major strength of the Pulmonary Division is our research to improve our understanding of asthma, cystic fibrosis, lung inflammation and regeneration. We have a number of active research programs to look at the mechanisms that induce and control inflammation in the lung, signaling pathways that can be induced to activated regeneration, the networks that control breathing and clinical studies to help develop new therapies for cystic fibrosis.
