About Me
Jaime Hook, MD is an Assistant Professor of Medicine in the Division of Pulmonary, Critical Care and Sleep Medicine with a secondary faculty appointment in the Department of Microbiology. Her clinical and research career aims to improve the lives of patients with lung diseases. She serves as a teaching and supervising Attending Physician for pulmonary fellows in the outpatient Pulmonary Clinic and inpatient Pulmonary Consultation Service. Her research focuses on the biology of severe lung infections and pathogen-induced acute lung injury.
Dr. Hook obtained her medical degree from the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health and completed her internal medicine residency and pulmonary and critical care fellowship at Columbia University Medical Center. She carried out her postdoctoral research training in clinical epidemiology (2010-2012) and basic science (2013-2019) at Columbia under the mentorship of Drs. David Lederer and Jahar Bhattacharya, respectively. She joined the faculty at the Icahn School of Medicine in June 2019 to establish her own basic science research program, the Lung Imaging Lab.
Dr. Hook has been the recipient of a number of clinical and research awards, including the 2018 Jo Rae Wright Award “in recognition of outstanding scientific achievement by a young investigator” from the American Thoracic Society Respiratory, Cell, and Molecular Biology Assembly.

Research
Lung infection is a major cause of death for people of all ages, around the world. There is no therapy that can reverse the fatal lung injury caused by lung infection. Antibiotic drugs that target the injury-causing pathogens are increasingly hampered by pathogen drug resistance. New therapeutic approaches are critically needed. Dr. Hook’s Lung Imaging Lab aims to gain new understanding of lung biology that will lead to the development of new therapies for lung infection. Learn more about our research at the Hook Laboratory website.
Insurance Information
Physicians who provide services at hospitals and facilities in the Mount Sinai Health System might not participate in the same health plans as those Mount Sinai hospitals and facilities (even if the physicians are employed or contracted by those hospitals or facilities).
Information regarding insurance participation and billing by this physician may be found on this page, and can also be obtained by contacting this provider directly. Because physicians insurance participation can change, the insurance information on this page may not always be up-to-date. Please contact this physician directly to obtain the most up-to-date insurance information.
Insurance and health plan networks that the various Mount Sinai Health System hospitals and facilities participate in can be found on the Mount Sinai Health System website.

Industry Relationships
Physicians and scientists on the faculty of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai often interact with pharmaceutical, device, biotechnology companies, and other outside entities to improve patient care, develop new therapies and achieve scientific breakthroughs. In order to promote an ethical and transparent environment for conducting research, providing clinical care and teaching, Mount Sinai requires that salaried faculty inform the School of their outside financial relationships.
