Konstantinos (Kostas) Alysandratos, MD, PhD 

Assistant Professor of Medicine
Section of Pulmonary, Allergy, Sleep & Critical Care Medicine, Department of Medicine
Center for Regenerative Medicine (CReM)
Boston University and Boston Medical Center

Kostas is a principal investigator in the Center for Regenerative Medicine (CReM) at Boston University and Boston Medical Center. He is also a Pulmonary and Critical Care attending in the Pulmonary, Allergy, Sleep & Critical Care Medicine Section of Boston University Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine. Kostas obtained his MD and PhD degrees from the University of Athens in Greece. He completed his internal medicine residency training at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas, TX followed by fellowships in Sleep Medicine and Pulmonary/Critical Care Medicine at Boston University. During his fellowship, he trained in Dr. Darrell Kotton’s laboratory at a time when reliable preclinical human disease models of pulmonary fibrosis were lacking. This inspired him to develop an iPSC platform for modeling the alveolar epithelial cell dysfunction at the inception of pulmonary fibrosis. Closely partnered with his research interests, Kostas co-leads the interstitial lung disease clinical program at Boston Medical Center where he is an attending pulmonologist.
