Carlos Milla is Professor of Pediatrics and (by courtesy) of Medicine at Stanford University School of Medicine, where he is also Associate Director for Translational Research at the Center for Excellence in Pulmonary Biology at Stanford. Dr Milla graduated from Medical School in Lima Peru, completed Residency in Pediatrics at the Children’s Medical Center of Brooklyn, State University of New York, and then went on to complete sub-specialty training in Pediatric Pulmonology and Cystic Fibrosis at the University of Minnesota, as well as advanced training in Epidemiology and Biostatistics. In 2007 Dr Milla joined the faculty at the Center for Excellence in Pulmonary Biology at Stanford University and became the Director of the Stanford Cystic Fibrosis Center. Dr Milla’s has actively participated in multiple CF clinical research studies and has accumulated substantial experience on the development of novel outcomes in CF. This includes participation in multiple clinical trials, from early phase to pivotal trials, as well as participating in multiple advisory boards for drug development focused on CF. Dr Milla has published and lectured extensively on the topics of cystic fibrosis and the genetics of rare lung diseases. Current areas of research include early CF lung disease development and the pathophysiologic mechanisms involved in the defective mucociliary clearance characteristic of CF. Additional research interests include active programs for biomarker discovery for chronic pulmonary conditions such as primary ciliary dyskinesia, pulmonary hypertension, chronic lung disease of infancy and interstitial lung disease.
