Harsha Chandnani, MD, MBA, MPH is an Associate Professor in the Department of Pediatrics at Loma Linda University School of Medicine, specializing in Pediatric Intensive Care. He is actively engaged in clinical research, quality improvement, and medical education, with a strong focus on critical care outcomes, immunology in pediatric infections, and systems-based practice improvement.
- Loma Linda University, School of Medicine, Department of Pediatrics
- Principal Investigator and Site PI on multiple NIH and institutional grants
- Active in multicenter research networks including PALISI and Red Colaborativa Pediátrica de Latinoamérica
His research interests include pediatric critical care, multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C), bronchiolitis, ECMO, mechanical ventilation, and quality improvement in pediatric intensive care units. He has led studies on immunological responses in MIS-C, clinical care pathways for status asthmaticus, and end-of-life care practices in children. His work combines clinical investigation with data analytics and systems engineering to improve patient outcomes.
His 15 most recent publications reflect a strong trend in pediatric critical care, with emphasis on immunology of post-infectious syndromes (especially MIS-C), quality improvement initiatives, mechanical ventilation, and end-of-life care. The research spans clinical trials, retrospective cohort studies, and multicenter collaborations, published in journals such as Pediatric Critical Care Medicine, Critical Care Medicine, and Journal of Clinical Investigation.
- Principal Investigator, Exosomes and the Immune Response in Allograft Outcomes in Pediatric Transplant Recipients (Stanford University)
- Principal Investigator, Federal Transfusion Associated Pathophysiology in MODS (NIH)
- Site PI, TRAP-MODS, BACON Study, and ASCEND Study
- Multiple internal grants at Loma Linda University on MIS-C, bronchiolitis, and cardiac critical care
Dr. Chandnani advises a multidisciplinary research team and collaborates with intensivists, immunologists, and pharmacists. He is involved in several grants focusing on immunological responses, transfusion medicine, and critical care pathways. His leadership in quality improvement is evident through projects like B.E.E.P. (Better Etiquette for Effective Paging) and standardized care pathways for asthma and post-operative care.
He is a member of key institutional committees including the PCCM Fellowship Clinical Competence Committee, Pediatric Critical Care Morbidity and Mortality Committee, and ECMO Morbidity and Mortality Committee, reflecting his integral role in clinical governance and education.
