David Hoytema van Konijnenburg

David Hoytema van Konijnenburg is an attending physician in the Division of Immunology at Boston Children's Hospital and an instructor at Harvard Medical School. His clinical and research focus centers on tissue-resident immune cells in the lung, skin, and tumors, with a specialization in immune dysregulation syndromes, immunodeficiency, and immunogenetics for rare immune disorders.

• Education: MD and PhD from Utrecht University (2014 and 2018), residency at Boston Combined Residency Program (2021), fellowship in Allergy/Immunology at Boston Children's Hospital (2024).

His research explores mechanisms of intestinal immunity, respiratory immunology, and genetic defects in immune homeostasis. Key publications span topics including T cell compartmentalization in inflammation, immunometabolic adaptations, viral infection complications in immunodeficiency, and genetic penetrance in rare immune disorders. Articles consistently emphasize tissue-specific immune responses across mucosal and respiratory systems.

Dr. Hoytema van Konijnenburg's clinical work integrates scientific approaches to diagnosis and treatment of rare immune conditions. He is board-certified in Pediatrics and Allergy/Immunology, and actively participates in programs like MIDAS, Immunogenetics, and Interstitial Lung Disease initiatives.
