Nadir Yehya, MD, MSCE

Children's Hospital of Philadelphia
Cherry Hill, NJ

Dr. Yehya’s research interests encompass all aspects of pediatric respiratory failure, with a particular emphasis on pediatric acute respiratory syndrome (ARDS) and mechanical ventilation. ARDS consists of sudden, severe flooding of the lungs in response to an inflammatory insult causing difficulty breathing, frequently requiring mechanical ventilation. His long-term goal is better characterization of ARDS in children and to test therapies designed to improve outcomes. His NIH-funded work is assessing the utility of specific plasma biomarkers in pediatric ARDS, with subsequent proteomic characterization and testing in pre-clinical models. Dr. Yehya has several active studies involving biomarkers, clinical epidemiology, and pathophysiological mechanisms in the field of pediatric ARDS, and is involved in several multicenter and multinational collaborations.
