A Short Biography:

I am Vice-Chair of Pediatrics for Research at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and Director of the Division of Pediatric Infectious Diseases and Immunology at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. In addition, I am a Professor of Pediatrics at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. I am also a member of the Immunobiology Institute at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and my major scientific contributions have been in the area of host-pathogen interactions, molecular pathogenesis of bacterial infections, role of innate immunity and Toll-Like Receptors in various infections and infection-induced acute and chronic inflammatory diseases, such as Allergic Asthma, Atherosclerosis. My research program has been at the cutting edge of advancing our knowledge on the pathogenesis of Pulmonary bacterial infections and inflammation; Chlamydia Pneumoniae-induced allergic sensitization and asthma and acceleration of atherosclerosis, mouse models of immune-mediated Coronary arteritis models (Mouse model for Kawasaki Disease). Each of these research projects is supported by relevant mouse models and NIH grants. My laboratory was the first to link TLRs and Atherosclerosis and published the seminal observations that high-fat diet-induced atherosclerosis is significantly diminished in ApoE-MyD88 double KO mice. I have has successfully mentored a number of clinical and research fellows, post-docs and junior faculty and guided them into independently funded scientists or clinician-scientist careers. I am the PI of a Training Grant (T32) in Immunobiology that was funded in Sep 2010. I will serve as a member of The Committee on Child Health Research and as an Ad Hoc reviewer for the CTSI.
