Welcome

The Division of Pediatric Infectious Diseases is involved in a wide range of academic and clinical services. Our scholarly endeavors include active participation in the basic science and clinical education of medical and graduate students, housestaff and attendings as well as our own post-doctoral fellows. These activities involve bedside teaching, formal and informal lectures, bench research and seminars.

Our clinical responsibilities are similarly varied. Our division provides consultative and epidemiological services for the Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital of New York-Presbyterian, serving both inpatient and outpatient areas. Our patients come from both the local community as well as those referred to Columbia for complicated underlying conditions such as complex congenital heart disease, solid organ transplantation, malignancies, BMT and stem cell transplantation, autoimmune and immunological disorders and the many patients who require intensive care, both neonates and older children. We have an active HIV/AIDS unit and are involved in HIV management and clinical trials in patients here and abroad.

As an integral part of the Columbia University Medical Center, we enjoy close interactions with our colleagues in adult medicine and surgical subspecialties as well as with investigators in the basic sciences.
