Ilya Khaytin, MD, PhD, serves as Assistant Professor in Pediatrics (Critical Care and Pulmonary & Sleep Medicine) at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, practicing at Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago and Northwestern Memorial Hospital. His clinical expertise spans pediatric sleep disorders and autonomic dysfunction management.
Education includes dual MD/PhD from Vanderbilt University School of Medicine (2010), pediatric residency at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center (2012), pediatric neurology residency (2015), Sleep Medicine fellowship at University of Pennsylvania Hospitals (2016), and postdoctoral fellowship at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (2018).
Research focuses on Sleep and Sleep Disorders and Autonomic Medicine, with specialized investigation of Congenital Central Hypoventilation Syndrome (CCHS) and ROHHAD syndrome. His work integrates clinical phenotyping, biomarker discovery, and transitional care models for rare autonomic disorders, emphasizing multidisciplinary approaches to improve diagnostic accuracy and patient outcomes.
Recent publications (2023-2024) demonstrate consistent focus on CCHS/ROHHAD pathophysiology, with methodologies spanning computer-aided diagnostics, collaborative reviews, neurocognitive biomarker identification, and transitional care frameworks. These works bridge Sleep Medicine, Neurology, Genetics, and Pediatric Critical Care disciplines.
Professional affiliations:
- American Academy of Sleep Medicine (2015–Present)
- Child Neurology Society (2015–Present)
- American Academy of Neurology (2012–Present)
Board-certified in Pediatric Neurology and Sleep Medicine by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology, Dr. Khaytin contributes to clinical guideline development for CCHS/ROHHAD management. His practice includes designing age-appropriate care transitions from pediatric to adult systems for chronic autonomic conditions, though specific grant details remain unlisted in available materials.
