Leading the Way in Pediatric Lung Disease Research
The Division of Pulmonary Medicine at Cincinnati Children’s houses research programs that both build upon and expand leading-edge basic, translational and clinical science—ultimately improving outcomes for patients with lung disease. As part of the #1 ranked Pulmonology and Lung Surgery Program in the nation, we lead the pulmonary field in education and training, while maintaining our strong culture of discovery, innovation, compassion and clinical care.
Expert Research Faculty
Our extensive pulmonary research team, comprised of 10 faculty research labs, includes PhDs, MDs and MD/PhDs. Together, we focus on a broad spectrum of lung disease—from more common disorders like asthma to rare lung diseases like interstitial lung disease (ILD).
We also prioritize mentorship, with continued research opportunities for graduate students, post docs, clinical and research fellows, and former trainees.
Robust Funding for Increased Impact
Our research would not be possible without robust funding from the National Institutes of Health, Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and other donors. We have a well-supported wet laboratory and clinical trial infrastructure. And collaborations with outside partners—including the Clinical Trial Consortium, Xenon Clinical Trials Consortium and Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia (BPD) Collaborative—enable us to expand the research in our field even further.
Research By the Numbers
Each year, our division succeeds in publishing important findings in dozens of top journals, with faculty presenting their work at national and international conferences.
