    Associate Professor
  • (404) 785-5437
  • dmsimon@emory.edu

Academic Appointment

  • Associate Chief for Education, Emory University School of Medicine
  • Assitant Professor of Pediatrics, Emory University School of Medicine

Education

Degrees

  • MD from State University of New York at Buffalo
  • BA from University of Rochester

Research

Focus

  • I have active research projects and collaborations in many areas. My overarching objective is to better understand airway disease and improve the lives of the patients I care for. My basic research collaborations involve understanding the role of the airway epithelium in the regulation of lung development and inflammation from asthma to cystic fibrosis to sickle cell disease.
