Faculty and fellows in the Division of Allergy, Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine at Vanderbilt University Medical Center have made outstanding contributions to understanding allergic and pulmonary disease and critical care, from the most cellular mechanisms to population science. Our specialty research groups have made major contributions to their respective fields.
Our research success is demonstrated through:
- Election of many faculty to national societies such as the American Society of Clinical Investigation and the Association of American Physicians
- Faculty members’ service as leaders in international organizations such as the American Thoracic Society, the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, and the Society of Critical Care Medicine
- An impressive record of NIH funding for faculty investigators within the division, and publications at the highest level
- Awards for fellows and junior faculty recognizing their accomplishments through the American Thoracic Society, the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology, and the Society of Critical Care Medicine. Each of them has had success in competitive career development awards from the NIH and other organizations.
The Division of Allergy, Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine also offers two T32 research-focused training programs.

Discoveries that advance human health
Wes Ely, MD, with the Division of Allergy, Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine at VUMC, along with his team, designed a clinical trial that found that Baricitinib reduces death in patients with severe COVID-19.
Asthma and Allergy
Multi-disciplinary, highly collaborative research programs in clinical, translational and basic science research in asthma and allergic diseases.
