“As with everything we do, whether at the bedside, in the classroom or in the laboratory, we are constantly striving for excellence.”
Douglas E. Vaughan, MDDedicated to the future of care
The Department of Medicine provides residents with a thorough, broad-based education while giving patients individualized care through Feinberg-affiliated hospitals and care sites and conducting high-level basic and clinical research through our 12 specialized internal medicine divisions.
What We Do
Faculty Spotlight
Associate Professor of Medicine (Nephrology and Hypertension)
Dr. Isakova is a clinical nephrologist with experience in patient-oriented and epidemiological research of disordered mineral metabolism in chronic kidney disease. Dr. Isakova provides clinical care for patients with chronic kidney disease and bone and mineral metabolism disorders and for patients with kidney stones.
Assistant Professor of Medicine (Gastroenterology and Hepatology)
I perform primary and secondary endoscopic (non-surgical) therapies for obesity, including placement of the Orbera gastric balloon, the Aspire Assist device and endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty. I also perform gastro-jejunal outlet reduction for weight regain after bariatric surgery. I have also been trained to use the EsophyX device (TIF procedure) as a minimally invasive (non-surgical) treatment for GERD. I am also interested in endoscopic treatment of post-surgical complications and endoscopic suturing.
Professor of Medicine (Allergy and Immunology), Microbiology-Immunology and Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery
I am interested in the mechanisms of pathogenesis and treatment of a variety of allergic and inflammatory diseases associated with allergy. These include chronic rhinosinusitis, asthma, hay fever, rhinitis, food allergy and others. We also study the mechanisms of action of antiinflammatory glucocorticoids. Our studies focus on the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying disease and steroid action as well as developing strategies to for new treatments.
Research Assistant Professor of Medicine (General Internal Medicine and Geriatrics)
patient needs assessment, web-based patient information and support
Assistant Professor of Preventive Medicine (Biostatistics) and Medicine (General Internal Medicine and Geriatrics)
I am a clinical trialist / study design specialist; my research interests include clinical study design and conduct, database development and data (quality) monitoring, interim monitoring / reporting / analyses, randomization and treatment allocation techniques (including cluster-randomization allocation techniques), and clinical trial data analyses. My applied / collaborative research focuses on clinical studies applied to a wide range of disorders, diseases, and populations including those in the fields of perinatal depression, mood disorders, internal medicine and geriatrics, gastroenterolo...
Research Assistant Professor of Medicine (General Internal Medicine and Geriatrics)
My program of research seeks to test and evaluate new models of team-based, high-value primary care delivery.
Professor of Medicine (Gastroenterology and Hepatology)
Endoscopic ultrasound, Ulcer disease
Associate Professor of Medicine (Infectious Diseases)
I am an Associate Professor of Medicine-Infectious Diseases at Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine. My primary clinical and research interests are in HIV and Viral Hepatitis Co-infection and Global Health. I am Principal and Co-Investigator on a number of epidemiological studies of HIV, Viral Hepatitis B and C, and Hepatocellular Carcinoma in the US, Tanzania and Nigeria. I serve as Director of the Viral Hepatitis/HIV Co-infection Program within the Division of Infectious Diseases at Northwestern and treat patients with HIV and viral hepatitis and other infectious diseases in...
Professor of Medicine (Infectious Diseases) and Surgery (Organ Transplantation)
Dr. Stosor is engaged in the clinical care of immunocompromised patients, including organ cell transplant recipients and those with HIV/HCV co-infection. My clinical research interests include: 1. HIV and organ transplantation, 2. HIV and HCV co-infection, 3. infectious diseases outcomes after organ transplantation, and 4. infectious diseases outcomes in mechanical circulatory support recipients.
Professor of Medicine (Pulmonary and Critical Care) and Cell and Molecular Biology
My research interests focus on the intermediate filaments (IFs), which are cytoskeletal structures that are crucial for maintaining the structural integrity of cells and tissues. In general, my lab focuses on the non-mechanical roles for the IF cytoskeleton such as how IFs regulate cell migration and cell survival, and the mechanisms by which IFs are a scaffold for stress-activated kinases and adaptor proteins. We investigated whether micromechanical forces, such as shear stress and stretch, had an effect on the keratin intermediate filament (IF) network in alveolar epithelial cells. We demons...
