Jason S. Debley, MD, MPH, is attending physician in the Pulmonary and Sleep Medicine Division at Seattle Children’s Hospital and Professor in the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Washington School of Medicine. He received his MD from Northwestern University Medical School and completed his pediatrics internship and residency at Children’s Memorial Hospital in Chicago, Illinois. He completed his pediatric pulmonary fellowship at Seattle Children’s and earned an MPH from the University of Washington. He has clinical expertise in severe asthma, recurrent wheezing of early childhood, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, restrictive lung diseases of childhood and the management of chronic respiratory failure.
As a physician-scientist Dr. Debley’s research has spanned clinical, epidemiologic, basic and mechanistic patient-oriented translational asthma research. His work over the past two decades has concentrated on investigation of the role of the airway epithelium in asthma pathobiology, with focus areas including study of innate immune responses of airway epithelial cells to respiratory viruses and aberrant epithelial regulation of airway remodeling responses. He built a translational research program wherein primary bronchial airway epithelial cells are obtained from children with asthma and healthy children undergoing elective surgical procedures at Seattle Children’s Hospital. This infrastructure is a unique resource in the United States, providing a steady source of primary bronchial airway epithelial cells from carefully characterized children with asthma that are used to conduct mechanistic research to advance our understanding of the role of airway epithelial responses in asthma and to identify novel therapeutic targets.

My daughter ( now almost 5) has been seeing Dr. Debley close to all her life. As a parent, I look for someone that I can trust and feel confident in. Dr. Debley has gone above and beyond with the care that he has given. He takes his time to explain things, and he is very knowledgeable in his field. Dr. Debley takes the time to listen to you, and he doesnt make you feel rushed or "just another person". He is very "in touch" with his patients and I could not be happier. He even takes the time out of his day to at least say hello if we are at the hospital for other appointments. He is a wonderful doctor.

We have been working with Dr. Debly and his staff for 7 years now, and I could not be happier. He is a wonderful, caring person who is always putting the needs of your child first. He is very easy to get along with and listens well. I would recommend this wonderful doctor to anyone I met that needed a pulmonary doc for the child. Thank you Dr. Debly for all you have done for us! As my son would say Thanks Dr. D!! Love Always The Family of Kaden Grimsby-Collins
