Alice Prince, MD

My laboratory studies the pathogenesis of bacterial infection, specifically how clinically important pathogens, such as S. aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Klebsiella pneumoniae activate host immune signaling, especially in the lung. As an Infectious Diseases pediatrician, I am especially attuned to the host-pathogen interaction and have embraced a multidisciplinary approach toward understanding the pathogenesis of pneumonia over the course of decades of NIH funded research, including a current R35 award. I actively participate in a variety of national and international efforts, reviewing grants and manuscripts, organizing and chairing meetings such as the Gordon Conference on Respiratory Infection and less well publicized but equally important, local Pediatric ID and Bacterial Pathogenesis meetings for the greater NY and Connecticut area
