Paneez Khoury, M.D., M.H.Sc., FAAAAI

In the Human Eosinophil Section, Dr. Khoury is an investigator on protocols focused on eosinophilic disorders including hypereosinophilic syndromes (HES), overlap HES disorders such as EGPA, EGID, episodic angioedema with eosinophilia (EAE; Gleich’s syndrome), and eosinophilic fasciitis. Many of the protocols investigate novel therapeutic approaches to understanding the pathogenesis of these rare diseases. Dr. Khoury has a particular interest in treatment-refractory and difficult-to-treat HES and EGIDs. Dr. Khoury is a site-investigator for the Consortium of Eosinophilic Gastrointestinal Researchers (CEGIR) through NIH/NCATS/RDCRN and was awarded a Pilot Grant through the American Partnership for Eosinophilic Disorders (APFED) and CEGIR to investigate the prevalence and mechanisms of gastric dysfunction and motility abnormalities in eosinophilic gastritis.

Dr. Khoury is the director of the ACGME accredited fellowship training program in allergy immunology that enrolls four clinical trainees yearly. The program encompasses a dynamic training experience with broad exposure to the full range of allergic and immunologic diseases as well as a robust mentorship mission, faculty development, and innovative teaching methods.

Paneez Khoury, M.D. is a Senior Clinician in NIAID. She has been involved in translational research in eosinophilic disorders since joining the Human Eosinophil Section in 2012.
