Department of Pediatrics, Emory University
Rabindra Tirouvanziam, PhD, Engineer, serves as an Associate Professor within the Department of Pediatrics at Emory University School of Medicine and Center for CF & Airways Disease Research at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, and as Adjunct Associate Professor within the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology.
Dr. Tirouvanziam earned his bioengineering degree at Agro Paris Tech (Paris, France) and his PhD in developmental biology, lung physiology and immunology at the College de France and CNRS (Paris, France). He trained as a postdoctoral researcher in genetics at Stanford University (CA, USA) before joining Emory University as faculty in 2011.
Research in his lab includes patient- and model-based studies of cystic fibrosis, COVID-19, lung and breast cancer, TB, and malaria, focusing on innate immunity and metabolism. The Tirouvanziam lab emphasizes sample collection from patients and optimized in vitro and animal models combined with high-content analyses by cytometry and transcriptomics (for cells) and multiplexed ELISA and mass spectrometry (for fluids) to delineate mechanisms of immunometabolic dysregulation and their relations to chronic disease.
The Tirouvanziam lab has received support from NIH, NSF, DARPA, and the CF Foundation, among others. As of April 2024, Dr. Tirouvanziam counts over 90 papers, 175 abstracts and 6 patents.
