Elizabeth A. Moulton, MD, PhD is Assistant Professor of Pediatrics in Transplant Infectious Diseases at Texas Children’s Hospital. She began her research career by studying the role of the complement system in poxviral infection during her PhD, and she continues to study the interplay between the immune system and viral pathogens in pediatric patients. She recently helped describe acute hepatitis associated with adenovirus in children with acute liver failure. She has specific interests in how best to diagnose, treat and prevent infections in transplant recipients, especially EBV-associated Post-Transplant Lymphoproliferative Disorders (PTLD). She spends her clinical time caring for solid organ transplant candidates and recipients at Texas Children’s Hospital, the largest pediatric solid organ transplant center in the country, with a focus on pediatric lung transplant, which is a population where PTLD is especially problematic.
