Results for Pediatric Infectious Diseases

Dr. John studies metabolism in the setting of pediatric infections, in order to identify new anti-infective drug targets, understand drug resistance, and develop new diagnostics.

Dr. Coffin’s research interests focus on the epidemiology and prevention of healthcare-associated infections in the pediatric population. She also investigates the epidemiology of pediatric respiratory viral infections, with a particular emphasis on influenza.

Dr. Fisher's research focuses on infections in children with immunocompromising conditions. He is particularly interested in infections in children with cancer and serves as the chair of the Infectious Disease Domain within the Children’s Oncology Group.

Dr. Steenhoff is medical director of the Global Health Center at Children's Hospital. He serves as a global health advocate for children, seeking to optimize mutually beneficial partnerships between clinical and academic institutions in diverse settings.

Dr. Feemster's research includes vaccine acceptance among parents and immunization providers, community-based interventions to improve vaccine uptake, neighborhood factors associated with the incidence of pertussis and influenza, and healthcare-associated respiratory infection in the pediatric ambulatory setting.

Dr. Flannery's research interests are perinatal infectious diseases and neonatal antimicrobial resistance and stewardship.

Dr. Zaoutis is a pediatrician trained in infectious disease and epidemiology with a robust research program focused on the epidemiology, prevention, and treatment of healthcare acquired infections; antimicrobial resistance; and antimicrobial use.

Dr. Vella is an assistant professor of Pediatrics at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and the University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine with a primary research focus on T follicular helper cells (Tfh), chronic infections, and vaccine readiness.

Dr. Gerber's research focuses on the epidemiology and outcomes of antimicrobial use in children, in both hospital and ambulatory settings.

The research interests of Dr. Downes focus on antimicrobial clinical pharmacology and pharmacoepidemiology in children with a goal to identify novel approaches to optimize efficacy, minimize toxicity, and limit antimicrobial resistance from antibiotics.
