Doctor's Bio
Dr. Ann M. Chahroudi, MD, PhD, is an Associate Professor of Pediatrics and Associate Division Chief for Basic/Translational Research in the Division of Pediatric Infectious Diseases at the Emory University School of Medicine. Dr. Chahroudi directs the Center for Childhood Infections and Vaccines (CCIV) of Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta and Emory University and is the Co-Director of Basic Science for the Emory Center for AIDS Research (CFAR). She also serves as an Attending Physician at the Ryan White Part D-funded pediatric/adolescent HIV program (Family and Youth Clinic) at Grady’s Ponce de Leon Center.
Dr. Chahroudi serves on the Editorial Boards of the Journal of Virology and Clinical Infectious Diseases and is an elected member of the American Society for Clinical Investigation, the American Pediatric Society, the Society for Pediatric Research, and a Fellow of the Pediatric Infectious Diseases Society.
Dr. Chahroudi received her MD and PhD from Emory University School of Medicine and completed her general pediatrics residency at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. She returned to Emory for subspecialty fellowship training in Pediatric Infectious Diseases. Dr. Chahroudi’s NIH-funded research program focuses on HIV persistence and remission, using nonhuman primate models to evaluate translational interventions toward an HIV cure. She received an NIH MERIT award in 2021 for this work and is the MPI of the PAVE Martin Delaney Collaboratory.
