What We Do
Faculty Spotlight
Assistant Professor of Pediatrics (Cardiology)
My main area of clinical interest is in general cardiology, which includes diagnosis and management of congenital heart disease and evaluation of chest pain, palpitations, syncope/dizziness, and murmurs. I also have an interest and expertise in the use and application of exercise stress testing, especially in patients with congenital heart disease, as well as its use for cardiac rehabilitation.
Assistant Professor of Medicine (Hospital Medicine) and Pediatrics
I am a hospital-based physician, in Internal Medicine and Pediatrics at Northwestern Memorial and Lurie Children's Hospitals. In addition, I serve as key clinical faculty in the Internal Medicine Residency, which affords me the opportunity to further the practice of Evidence-Based Medicine among our trainees.
Associate Professor of Pediatrics (Critical Care)
My clinical interests focus on cardiac intensive care, chiefly the post-operative care of neonates and children undergoing congenital heart surgery.My primary research interest involves HPA axis dysfunction post-surgery, during sepsis, ARDS and other conditions involving oxidative stress.
Professor of Preventive Medicine (Epidemiology), Medicine (Cardiology) and Pediatrics
Dr. Lloyd-Jones attended Swarthmore College for his BA (Major in History), Columbia University College of Physicians & Surgeons for his MD, and Harvard School of Public Health for his Master of Science (Epidemiology). He was a resident, chief resident and cardiology fellow at Massachusetts General Hospital, and junior faculty at Harvard Medical School. In 2004, he moved to Northwestern and in 2009, he became Chair of the Department of Preventive Medicine. From 2012-2020, he was Senior Associate Dean for Clinical and Translational Research and Director of the NUCATS Institute. He is currently P...
Associate Professor of Pediatrics (Pulmonary and Sleep Medicine)
I received my MD from UCSF. I completed my Pediatric Residency and Chief Residency at the University of Washington, Seattle. I completed my Pediatric Pulmonology Fellowship at the University of Colorado and received a Master's Degree in Clinical Science. After spending 10 years at the University of Minnesota, I moved to Chicago to join Lurie Children's to become Division Head. I am passionate about equity, diversity and inclusion.
Professor of Pediatrics (Neonatology), Cell and Developmental Biology and Medicine (Pulmonary and Critical Care)
Our lab is interested in the effects of oxygen on cell metabolism, and in the molecular mechanisms underlying cellular oxygen sensing. The signaling pathways activated by hypoxia, and their regulation of transcriptional and post-translational responses in diverse cell types are also of major interest. Current studies focus on the role of mitochondrial redox signaling in the development of pulmonary hypertension. Other current studies focus on cardiomyocyte regeneration in the heart and molecular factors that regulate hypertrophic and hyperplastic remodeling responses.
Assistant Professor of Pediatrics (Neonatology)
neonatology, heatlh informatics, perinatal hospice care
Assistant Professor of Pediatrics (Neurology and Epilepsy)
I am a child neurologist with particular interest in neurology of the newborn. After medical research in physiology as an undergraduate, I pursued research in the psychophysics of vision as a medical student, and was awarded a PhD in neurobiology. I am currently pursuing clinical research, primarily regarding neurological issues in the newborn, including stroke, hypoxic ischemic injury, and use of therapeutic hypothermia.
Instructor of Pediatrics (Cardiology)
My primary areas of clinical interest are preventive cardiology (obesity, dyslipidemia, hypertension, and screening) as well as inpatient and outpatient diagnosis and management of congenital heart disease. I enjoy educating medical students, residents and fellows through bedside teaching as well as formal didactic lectures. My main areas of research interestinclude the effect of obesity on the cardiovascular system of children and adults.
Assistant Professor of Pediatrics (Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition)
My primary interest in pediatric liver disease and liver transplantation is the immune mechanism of neonatal liver disease, in particular gestational alloimmune liver disease (GALD) and biliary atresia. Through clinical research on outcomes in GALD and laboratory research on the mechanism of disease, our group has made a significant impact that has advanced the care of infants and mothers affected by GALD. Currently, my active area of research is on the immune pathogenesis of biliary atresia, the leading cause of pediatric liver transplantation. I am investigating the role of macrophages in...
