Rebecca Pellett Madan, MD

I am a pediatric infectious disease physician with specific expertise in infections that affect children who are immunocompromised. At Hassenfeld Children's Hospital at NYU Langone, I treat children who have undergone bone marrow or solid organ transplantation. It is my goal to keep children as healthy as possible so they may return to the activities they love. Partnering with families to care for their children who are medically complex is a privilege, and watching children thrive after transplant is the most rewarding aspect of my career.

In my role as medical director for pediatric solid organ transplant programs at Hassenfeld Children's Hospital, I coordinate resources across our pediatric heart, lung, kidney, and liver transplant programs. This involves working with physicians, surgeons, social workers, psychologists, child life therapists, pharmacists, and psychiatrists—all with extensive expertise in pediatric transplantation. Our team provides the highest quality of care in a family-centered environment, always with the goal of achieving the best possible outcome for children and their family.

I have published extensively in the field of pediatric transplant infectious diseases and have served on national and international pediatric transplant guideline committees. I am especially interested in how we can best use vaccines before and after transplant to prevent infection. Finally, I am involved in institutional and national efforts to train the next generation of pediatric infectious diseases physicians.
