Husham Sharifi
Clinical Assistant Professor, Medicine - Pulmonary, Allergy & Critical Care Medicine
BioI am a Clinical Assistant Professor in the Division of Pulmonary, Allergy, and Critical Care Medicine in Stanford University School of Medicine. My practice includes a Lung Graft-versus-Host-Disease (GVHD) Clinic for patients with pulmonary complications after life-saving hematopoietic cell transplant. Our clinic is part of a Lung GVHD Consortium comprising Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center, University of Michigan, and MD Anderson Cancer Center. In this context I am the site co-Principal Investigator for two national clinical trials through the Lung GVHD Consortium that are funded by the National Institutes of Health, one studying the association of respiratory viruses with Lung GVHD and a second studying the diagnostic and prognostic utility of quantitative CT scans of the chest for Lung GVHD. Separately, I see patients with pulmonary complications of infection from severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), including "Long COVID". I also see patients in the intensive care unit (ICU). My research applies advanced computational analysis to clinical metadata and quantitative imaging data, domains that draw on my graduate level education and postdoctoral training in engineering and bioinformatics. I strive to fuse detailed, communicative patient care with the advances of data science in medicine that I research and study.
