Glenn J. Fennelly, MD, MPH

Dr. Fennelly is the Director of the Division of Pediatric Infectious Diseases, He has served on several NIH scientific review panels including the Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering Gene and Drug Delivery and the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Innovations in HIV Vaccines and AIDS Immunopathogenesis study sections.

Dr. Fennelly has expertise in the prevention and treatment of pediatric HIV infection. Since 2006, he has traveled to Viet Nam and Ethiopia to work as a clinical mentor and educator for physicians treating children with HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis. He is also an editor for the eMedicine Online Textbook of Pediatric Infectious Diseases. Dr. Fennelly is board-certified in Pediatric Infectious Diseases and he is an Associate Professor of Clinical Pediatrics at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine.
