Pediatric Pulmonology
About Me
Livia Veress, MD, is the Division Chief of Pediatric Pulmonology in the Jack and Lucy Clark Department of Pediatrics at Mount Sinai and Mount Sinai Kravis Children’s Hospital, Vice Chair of Research in the Department of Pediatrics, and Professor of Pediatrics at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. Dr. Veress is an internationally recognized physician-scientist board-certified in Pediatric Pulmonology and Pediatric Critical Care Medicine.
Dr. Veress earned her medical degree from Louisiana State University School of Medicine in New Orleans and completed her pediatric residency training at LSU. She completed dual fellowship training in Pediatric Critical Care Medicine and Pediatric Pulmonology at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus, where she previously served as Professor of Pediatrics and Director of the Center for Advanced Drug Development.
Clinical Focus:
Her clinical work focuses on complex pediatric airway and lung diseases, including acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), plastic bronchitis, bronchiolitis obliterans, chemical inhalation injury, and interstitial lung disease. Dr. Veress delivers whole-child care, taking a holistic diagnostic approach to manage both acute critical care needs and long-term pulmonary health in children.
Research Focus
Dr. Veress leads a translational research program focused on acute lung injury, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), toxic inhalation injuries, and pulmonary wound repair. Her research specializes in developing novel fibrinolytic and antifibrotic drug therapies to counter airway coagulation and cast formation in plastic bronchitis and chemical inhalation toxicities (e.g., chlorine and mustard gas exposures). Supported by multiple NIH grants (including R01 and CounterACT U-series awards), her work bridges drug development, pulmonary endothelial vascular thrombosis, immunothrombosis, and long-term pulmonary vascular and tissue regeneration.

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.
