Our clinical programs have earned national recognition including the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation Quality Award at our most recent CF Program accreditation renewal in 2025. Our Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia PCD Center is accredited through the PCD Foundation Clinical and Research Centers Network, and our Pulmonary Hypertension Program is one of only eight pediatric programs nationwide accredited as a Pulmonary Hypertension Comprehensive Care Center.

Our research mission aligns with our clinical expertise with faculty collaborating on numerous national and international studies, including clinical trials. Eric Austin, MD, MSCI, and Christian Rosas Salazar, MD, MPH, lead translational research programs in pulmonary hypertension and asthma. Leonard Bacharier, MD, a Pediatric Allergy physician scientist, is an international expert in childhood asthma. Rachel Robison, MD, conducts food allergy research, including clinical trials through our participation in the Consortium of Food Allergy Research (CoFAR). Paul Moore, MD, leads research focused on children born prematurely with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD).

We are committed to training the next generation of clinicians and physician scientists through a comprehensive pediatric pulmonology academic program. The Allergy Immunology Fellowship Program, sponsored by the Department of Medicine, also welcomes pediatric residents interested in fellowship training.
