As a faculty member in the division of pulmonary, critical care, and sleep medicine at NYU Grossman School of Medicine, I am dedicated to advancing patient care and education. My role as the associate program director of the sleep medicine fellowship allows me to mentor and train the next generation of specialists, which is incredibly rewarding.

My clinical expertise spans critical care and sleep medicine, with a particular focus on sleep-related breathing disorders, chronic respiratory failure, and complex ventilatory conditions. With years of experience in these fields, I am committed to providing the highest quality care to my patients. I believe in the importance of proactive healthcare engagement and encourage my patients to be active participants in their health journey. My affiliation with NYU Langone ensures that my patients receive coordinated, seamless care across all aspects of their treatment.

Throughout my career, I have worked extensively in critical care and sleep medicine, managing a wide range of conditions and contributing to the advancement of patient care. My work at Tisch Hospital, Bellevue, and the World Trade Center Environmental Health Center has provided me with diverse experiences and a deep understanding of the complexities of respiratory and sleep-related conditions.

My journey into medicine was inspired by a desire to make a meaningful impact on people’s lives. I pursued my medical education with a focus on pulmonary and sleep medicine, driven by the potential to improve patient outcomes in these critical areas. As part of the NYU Langone team, I am proud to collaborate with a dedicated group of professionals, ensuring that my patients receive comprehensive and coordinated care tailored to their specific needs.

Research Summary

Airway disease in World Trade Center population. At NYU Langone’s Environmental Health Program, we conduct research on identification of lung injury in surviving community members affected by the destruction of the World Trade Center towers. We are the first center to report the environmental impact of the destruction of the World Trade Center towers on respiratory health of the surrounding community. Dr. Baba’s work focuses on the understanding of molecular, environmental and clinical implications of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) in this population. As part of the Division of Pulmonary, Critical Care, and Sleep Medicine at NYU Grossman School of Medicine and NYC Health + Hospitals/Bellevue, he also partners in various industry- and American Lung Association- sponsored trials in asthma and COPD.

Clinical study of obstructive sleep apnea in urban population. In collaboration with the sleep laboratory at Case Western Reserve University’s MetroHealth Medical Center, Dr. Baba conducts research on the role of sleep disordered breathing in cardiovascular disease. This includes a prospective, cross-sectional study, Impact of Obstructive Sleep Apnea on Clinical Outcomes in Acute Coronary Syndrome (ISAACS), aimed at identifying the role of obstructive sleep apnea in patients presenting with acute coronary syndrome. As the lead sleep medicine physician for the World Trade Center Environmental Health Center, his interests also include the design and conduct of sleep medicine research in the New York City community population.
