Neema Izadi

Neema Izadi is a Clinical Associate Professor of Pediatrics (Clinician Educator) at the University of Southern California. Their work focuses on allergy, immunology, and pediatric care with an emphasis on clinical diagnostics, primary immunodeficiency, and medical education. Research spans food allergy mechanisms, asthma management, and rare immune disorders.

Key research interests include evaluating B-cell function through cellular assays, developing diagnostic tools for immunodeficiency syndromes (e.g., APDS), and investigating environmental factors influencing pediatric allergies. They also explore the transition of severe asthma patients from adolescence to adulthood, emphasizing longitudinal care challenges.

Over 20+ publications highlight contributions to clinical practice guidelines, diagnostic protocol development, and case studies in refractory atopic dermatitis. Their work integrates genetics (e.g., FCGR3A variants) and neuroimaging (hippocampal volume studies) with clinical immunology. No scientific awards explicitly noted, but active involvement in CTSI initiatives reflects commitment to translational research.

Teaching responsibilities include training future clinicians in allergy/immunology subspecialties, emphasizing evidence-based practices and patient adherence strategies.
