Keynote Address

"The changing environment for academic medical centers and the implications for research"

John Reilly, Jr, MD

John Reilly, Jr, MD graduated from Dartmouth College and Harvard Medical School.  He trained in Internal Medicine and Pulmonary & Critical Care Medicine at Brigham and Women’s Hospital before joining the faculty there.  In 2008, he moved to Pittsburgh to join the Department of Medicine and became the department chairman in 2011.  He joined the CU School of Medicine in 2015 and served as Dean and Vice Chancellor for Health Affairs and as the President of CU Medicine, the faculty practice plan until 2024.  His research interests have focused on various clinical and translational studies related to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.  In addition to his research publications, he has authored chapters on COPD in various major textbooks.
