Iris Reyhan is a Clinical Assistant Professor of Pediatrics (Clinician Educator) affiliated with the Keck School of Medicine at the University of Southern California. Her clinical and research activities focus on pediatric rheumatology, infectious diseases, and autoimmune disorders, with emphasis on cardiovascular complications and epidemiological aspects of pediatric conditions.

Her research interests include investigating infectious triggers of autoimmune conditions (e.g., Clostridioides difficile-induced reactive arthritis), managing refractory Kawasaki disease with coronary complications, and optimizing diagnostic approaches for pediatric rheumatologic diseases. She has also contributed to understanding gender disparities in autoimmune disease presentation and hospital-based obesity documentation practices.

Dr. Reyhan's publications span case reports on life-threatening conditions like aortic valve perforations in granulomatosis with polyangiitis and educational guides for general practitioners on pediatric rheumatology. She actively collaborates across disciplines, including cardiology and public health, to address complex pediatric cases.

Her work emphasizes translational research bridging clinical practice and population health, particularly in underserved pediatric populations.
