• Biography

  Stephen R. Reeves, MD, PhD is an attending physician in the Division of Pulmonary and Sleep Medicine at Seattle Children's Hospital. He is a native of Kentucky and completed his MD and PhD degrees at the University of Louisville as part of the combined MD/PhD physician scientist training program. Following completion of his degrees, Steve moved to Southern California to complete his residency in General Pediatric Medicine at the University of California, San Diego Department of Pediatrics, affiliated with Rady Childrens Hospital. Steve then completed his Pediatric Pulmonary Medicine fellowship at Seattle Childrens Hospital and the University of Washington School of Medicine. He is excited to stay on as faculty at Seattle Childrens and to continue helping to provide care for the children of the WWAMI Region with chronic respiratory disease.

  In addition to his clinical duties, Steve is also junior faculty at the Seattle Childrens Research Institute: Center for Immunity and Immunotherapeutics where he works with Jason Debley, MD, MPH characterizing the cellular biology of airway remodeling in asthmatic children. His current projects are aimed at understanding cell-cell interactions underlying airway remodeling and inflammation.
