Biosketch

Dr. Hasday is Board-certified in Internal Medicine, Pulmonary Medicine and Critical Care Medicine and is the former Head of the Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine Division. He over 30 years experience as a pulmonary and critical care physician with clinical expertise in with acute lung injury/ARDS, sepsis/septic shock, interstitial lung disease, and asthma.

His basic and translational research focuses on thermobiology, the effects of clinically relevant hypothermia and hyperthermia (including fever) on biological processes that contribute to homeostasis and disease pathogenesis. Specific research interests include p38 MAP kinase signaling and development of substrate-selective p38 inhibitors, TRPV4, endothelial barrier function, regulation of cytokine expression, acute lung injury, regulation of heat shock protein gene expression, therapeutic hypothermia in ARDS, and thermoregulation.

Dr. Hasday also directs the University of Maryland Cytokine Core Laboratory
