Background

Dr. Chen practices Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine. His primary area of interest is sarcoidosis, and he has extensive experience in the diagnosis and treatment of sarcoidosis in all of its forms, and the management of consequences of this systemic disease.

The Sarcoidosis Clinic often serves to coordinate management of patients with multi-organ involvement with sarcoidosis, and to this end Dr. Chen actively maintains clinical and research collaborations with Cardiology, Cardiovascular Nuclear Medicine, Neurology, and Ophthalmology.

Additionally, Dr. Chen participates as a Physician Champion in the Johns Hopkins Health System Epic project to improve the safety and quality of care of critically ill patients through optimization of the electronic medical record.

Research & Publications

Research Summary

Dr. Chen’s research focus has been on the etiopathogenesis of sarcoidosis, with a goal to identify mechanisms that drive disease activity. He has participated in the initial studies demonstrating an important role for antigens as a trigger of immune system activity in sarcoidosis. Additionally, he played an important role in the identification of serum amyloid A as an innate ligand that preferentially enhances and sustains inflammatory responses in sarcoidosis. Ongoing projects include a longitudinal study of immune system responses in pulmonary sarcoidosis, and the use of computer-assisted imaging to evaluate initial treatment of pulmonary sarcoidosis.
