Lisa Young, MD, is Chief of the Division of Pulmonary and Sleep Medicine at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and Professor of Pediatrics at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. Before joining CHOP, Dr. Young was an Associate Professor of Pediatrics, Medicine, and Cell & Developmental Biology at Vanderbilt University and Director of the Center for Childhood Lung Research and the Pediatric Rare Lung Diseases Clinical Program at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. She was an undergraduate at the University of Virginia (where she was a Jefferson Scholar), earned her MD at Duke University, completed residency training in Pediatrics and Internal Medicine at Duke University, and completed fellowship training in Pediatric Pulmonology and Adult Pulmonary/Critical Care Medicine at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center and the University of Cincinnati. Following her fellowship training, she joined the faculty at the University of Cincinnati for six years, then relocated to Vanderbilt in 2011.
Dr. Young is an outstanding physician-scientist and clinician-educator. She has been well-funded by the NIH and other funding agencies for both laboratory and clinical research on a variety of lung diseases and is currently principal investigator on 2 NIH R01 awards, an NIH U54 project, and a K24 Midcareer Award in Patient-Oriented Research. She has particular interest in interstitial and other rare lung diseases including Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome, neuroendocrine cell hyperplasia of infancy, primary ciliary dyskinesia, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, and lymphangioleiomyomatosis.
Dr. Young has received multiple awards for her research, including the American Thoracic Society Robert B. Mellins Outstanding Achievement Award, the American Thoracic Society Public Advisory Roundtable Excellence Award, the LAM Foundation Scientific Advancement Award, and a Parker B. Francis Foundation Fellowship. She has received recognition for her clinical skills from Best Doctors in America, Cincinnati Magazine, and the Hermansky-Pudlak Syndrome Network.
Dr. Young is committed to improving child lung health through expanding the outstanding clinical, training, and research programs in the Division of Pulmonary Medicine at CHOP.
