Pediatric Pulmonology, Allergy, Immunology, and Sleep Medicine
The Division of Pediatric Pulmonology, Allergy, Immunology, and Sleep Medicine at New York Medical College (NYMC) provides comprehensive inpatient and outpatient consultation and management for children suffering from various respiratory problems. The Division is dedicated to teaching, research, and patient care.
The Faculty Practice of the Division of Pediatric Pulmonology, Allergy, Immunology, and Sleep Medicine, is part of Boston Children's Health Physicians (BCHP). Boston Children's Health Physicians, a proud member of the Boston Children's Hospital Community of Care, comprises the faculty of the Department of Pediatrics at NYMC and over 300 primary care providers throughout the region.
Research
Research is essential to the Division which is comprised of a large, distinguished faculty whose research portfolio and grant support have steadily grown annually and reflect a wide variety of academic interests. Particular focus is placed on clinical and translational research concerning childhood asthma, cystic fibrosis, and the respiratory mechanics of children with respiratory disease. The Division’s respiratory laboratories provide an ideal setting for both bench research and clinical pediatric pulmonary function tests, with dozens of extramurally funded projects underway at any one time, which are funded primarily by the NIH, the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, the American Lung Association, and the pharmaceutical industry.
The Division has been an American Lung Association-supported Asthma Clinical Research Center since the inception of that program in 1999 – one of only 18 such centers in the nation, and one of only five such centers whose principal investigator is a pediatric asthma specialist. They are also a member of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation Therapeutics Development Network, funded by the CF Foundation to perform multicenter clinical trials. In the last five years, the Division’s Children’s Environmental Health Center of the Hudson Valley has received many grants designed to study the impact of the environment on children’s health here in the Hudson Valley.
