Daniel J. McKeone

Daniel J. McKeone, MD, serves as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Pediatrics and is affiliated with the Pediatric Cardiovascular Research Center. His clinical-research focus centers on immune dysregulation mechanisms in critically ill pediatric patients, with emphasis on cytokine profiling and critical care interventions.

His primary research domains include Immunology, Critical Care Medicine, and Pediatric Subspecialties. Key investigations involve immune profiling of hyper-/hypo-inflammatory subphenotypes, pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome (PARDS), multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS), and inflammatory biomarker dynamics. This work directly contributes to UN Sustainable Development Goal 3 (Good Health and Well-Being) through precision critical care approaches.

Analysis of his 2023-2025 publications reveals concentrated exploration of immune biomarker trajectories in pediatric critical illness. Dominant themes include cytokine-based subphenotyping, tissue injury markers in PARDS, and predictive modeling of organ failure in sepsis, demonstrating integration of immunology with clinical critical care to advance personalized therapeutic strategies.

Dr. McKeone conducts his research within the Pediatric Cardiovascular Research Center, where his team applies rapid immune profiling techniques to identify critical illness endotypes and develop targeted interventions for high-risk pediatric populations.
