Associate Professor of Pediatrics and Global Health
Duke University School of Medicine
Durham, NC, United States
Dr. Kelly is a pediatrician and physician-scientist trained in infectious diseases, global health, and human microbial ecology. He received his MD degree from Harvard Medical School and his MPH degree from the Harvard School of Public Health before completing his pediatrics training at the Boston Combined Residency Program in Pediatrics. He was a David N. Pincus Pediatric Global Health Fellow through the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, during which he worked as a pediatric hospitalist in Gaborone, Botswana and started a research program focused on childhood pneumonia. He completed pediatric infectious diseases training at Duke University with a focus on the role of the microbiome in the prevention of common infections among children.
Dr. Kelly is now an Associate Professor of Pediatrics and Associate Research Professor of Global Health at Duke University. His long-term career goal is to develop novel microbiome-based strategies for the prevention and treatment of childhood infections, particularly those for which the highest burden is among children in low- and middle-income countries. His research focuses on understanding the roles of the upper respiratory microbiome and host-microbe interactions within the upper respiratory tract in modifying the risk and severity of childhood respiratory infections. He also has an active research program investigating the effect of the gut microbiome on the risk of infectious and non-infectious outcomes in pediatric hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients.
