Associate Professor
Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center
Cincinnati, OH, United States
As a dual-boarded pediatric otolaryngologist and sleep medicine physician, Dr. Smith’s clinical focus involves the diagnosis and treatment of upper and lower airway disorders, complex and persistent obstructive sleep apnea, and complex circadian and sleep disorders in children. His clinical research involves the study of cardiopulmonary outcomes in children with OSA. In his laboratory, he focuses on studying the molecular mechanisms that contribute to progression of the clinical sequelae associated with OSA using a murine model of intermittent hypoxia. He has expertise in the study of circadian clock dysregulation and hypoxia inducible factors. Dr. Smith has also coordinated a large, multidisciplinary team dedicated to clinical, translational, and basic science research focused on sleep-related disorders, serving as the Clinical Director for the Center for Circadian Medicine at CCHMC. This work and experience further allow him to translate findings in the lab, and from the field of circadian biology, for human health and disease.
