Researcher | Research Overview
Dr. Mansbach has been performing multicenter bronchiolitis and respiratory virus research with the Emergency Medicine Network (www.emnet-usa.org) for more than a decade. He has been Principal Investigator, site Principal Investigator, or Co-Investigator of multiple industry, foundation, and NIH grants. Currently, Dr. Mansbach is BCH Site-PI and on the Steering Committee for a NIH-funded multicenter study following 921 infants hospitalized with bronchiolitis for the development of recurrent wheezing and eventual asthma. He is PI of an NIH/NIAID grant examining the relation of viral persistence and the airway microbiome to recurrent wheezing and asthma in these 921 infants. He is also actively investigating the tracheal microbiome before, during, and after lower respiratory infections in children and young adults with a tracheostomy.
Active Projects:
2009-2014 Vitamin D deficiency and the severity of bronchiolitis
K23 AI077801
Principal Investigator
This study examines the vitamin D level of the children enrolled for the U01 study at Boston Children’s Hospital.

Researcher | Research Background
Dr. Mansbach graduated from Haverford College and Duke University School of Medicine before coming to Boston Children’s Hospital as an intern. He has been at Boston Children’s Hospital ever since. He completed a hospitalist and adolescent medicine fellowship, and now spends the majority of his time investigating bronchiolitis and respiratory viruses. He obtained a Masters of Public Health from the Harvard School of Public Health.
