Staten Island University Hospital
Chloe Lahoud, MD, is an Internal Medicine resident in training at the Staten Island University Hospital in New York. She is a medical graduate from the American University of Beirut, Lebanon. After graduation, she completed a post-doctoral research fellowship in the Infectious Diseases division at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston. She recently started her Internal Medicine residency training.
Her research experience includes basic, translational, and clinical research. She worked on developing new breath-based and non-invasive diagnostic tools for both bacterial and fungal respiratory infections in ventilator associated and community acquired pneumonia, as well as in murine models. She led a project investigating the toxicities and clinical consequences of valganciclovir in solid organ transplant recipients. She also worked on a clinical trial that aimed to assess the safety and tolerability of Sotrovimab prophylaxis against COVID-19 infection in immunocompromised individuals with impaired SARS-CoV-2 humoral immunity. In addition, she worked on a project aiming to analyze antimicrobial prescriptions and indications, and to implement an antimicrobial stewardship program in a university hospital medical center in Lebanon. She played a key role in several projects assessing the impact of the socioeconomic and political collapse in Lebanon on patient outcomes and the healthcare system more broadly.
She is currently continuing her research work while training to become an Infectious Diseases physician and academic researcher.
