Bruce D. Levy, MD\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dr. Levy is the Parker B. Francis Professor of Medicine at Brigham and Women\u2019s Hospital and the Chair of the Department of Medicine. Bruce received his MD from the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine. He completed his internship and residency in Internal Medicine and his fellowship in Pulmonary and Critical Care at Brigham and Women\u2019s Hospital. He was a post-doctoral fellow in the laboratory of Dr. Charles Serhan.\u00a0 Research undertaken in the Levy laboratory focuses on the roles of endogenous counter-regulatory mediators in the lung. The lab\u2019s mission is \u201cto identify novel pathways and cellular targets that promote resolution of pulmonary inflammation or injury and to determine roles for naturally-derived, specialized pro-resolving mediators in lung health and disease as well as their potential as templates for rational new drug design.\u201d A list of Dr. Levy\u2019s publications can be found on Pubmed<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Marjorie \u201cBetsy\u201d Bateman, MD<\/b><\/p>\n

<\/b>Betsy completed her MD, Internal Medicine Residency, and Chief Residency at Tulane University School of Medicine. She is currently a Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine fellow in the Brigham and Women\u2019s\/Harvard Fellowship Program. Betsy joined the Levy Lab in 2023, and her research investigates the role of club cell secretory protein 16 (CC16) in resolution of lung injury. Betsy\u2019s ultimate goal is to identify therapeutic targets that can lead to improvements in outcomes for patients with ARDS.

Thayse Regina Bruggemann, PhD<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thayse received her PhD in Medical Sciences from School of Medicine of Sao Paulo University \u2013 Brazil (June 2017). In June 2017 she joined Levy Lab for a postdoctoral fellowship. Her interest is to extend the knowledge about the connection of the immune system with the specialized pro-resolving mediators pathways in different lung diseases subsets. She is currently working on the in vivo<\/i> and in vitro<\/i> roles and mechanisms for phospholipid phosphatase 6 regulation of specific cell functions on macrophages and dendritic cells. A list of Thayse’s publications can be found on Pubmed<\/a>. Email: tbruggemann@partners.org<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Rebecca Elaine Cagnina, MD, PhD<\/strong><\/p>\n

Elaine received her MD and PhD degrees in 2010\u00a0as part of the Medical Scientist Training Program at the University of Virginia. \u00a0 She subsequently completed residency in\u00a0Internal Medicine\u00a0and a fellowship in\u00a0Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine at the University of Virginia before joining\u00a0their faculty in 2016. \u00a0She moved to BWH and joined the Levy Lab in 2018. \u00a0Her current research investigates the host immune response in a mouse model of\u00a0<\/span>Aspergillus<\/span><\/i>\u00a0lung injury.\u00a0 More broadly, she is interested in how innate immune cells influence\u00a0the development of effective adaptive immunity in the context of pulmonary infections with the\u00a0<\/span>goal of applying\u00a0<\/span>new insights\u00a0<\/span>to the development of novel therapies.\u00a0<\/span>Email:\u00a0rcagnina@bwh.harvard.edu<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Melody Duvall, MD, PhD<\/strong><\/p>\n

Melody received her PhD in Immunology from Oxford University, United Kingdom, in 2006 through the NIH-Oxford Graduate Partnership Program and her MD from Washington University in St. Louis School of Medicine in 2008. She completed her pediatrics residency at Boston Children\u2019s Hospital in 2012 and her pediatric critical care medicine fellowship at Boston Children\u2019s Hospital in 2015. She joined the Levy lab in 2014. Melody is investigating the phenotype and function of innate mediators of immunity (in particular innate lymphoid cells (ILCs), natural killer (NK) cells, and mucosal associated invariant T (MAIT) cells in human children with viral lung infection and respiratory failure.\u00a0 A list of Melody\u2019s publications can be found on Pubmed<\/a>.

Nandini Krishnamoorthy, PhD<\/strong><\/p>\n

The overarching theme of Nandini’s research has been the identification of pathways that bridge innate and adaptive immune systems. During her PhD and postdoctoral work, she has been involved in studies that explore this connection along multiple dimensions. She is particularly interested in understanding mechanisms behind regulatory T cells dysfunctional during chronic inflammation. She is currently dissecting the cellular interactions between innate lymphoid cells and regulatory T cells in the setting of Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV)<\/span>.

Mary Elizabeth Moss, MD, PhD<\/strong><\/p>\n

Liz completed her MD and PhD at Tufts University School of Medicine in 2021 as part of the Medical Scientists Training Program. Her PhD work focused on sex differences in vascular inflammation in atherosclerosis, particularly as it relates to hormone signaling in endothelial cells. She is now a resident in Pediatrics at Boston Children’s Hospital in a research track. She joined Dr. Levy’s lab in the summer of 2022, studying sex differences in various models of lung inflammation including influenza infection and asthma. She plans to continue her research in a Pediatric Pulmonary fellowship in the future.<\/div>\n
