About Carolyn Calfee

Dr. Calfee holds a bachelor's degree from Yale University and received her medical degree from the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine. She completed internal medicine residency training at the University of California San Francisco, where she served as Chief Resident, and where she also received advanced training through a fellowship in pulmonary and critical care medicine. She also earned a master's degree in clinical research at UCSF, training with Drs. Mark Matthay and Mark Eisner.

Dr. Calfee’s primary academic focus is the prevention, diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and sepsis. Her lab is currently researching molecular phenotyping of ARDS and sepsis and precision medicine in the ICU; the role of cigarette smoke exposure and exposure to novel tobacco products in acute lung injury; and novel treatments for ARDS and sepsis.
