Professional History

Asimenia Angelidou, MD, PhD obtained her medical degree and doctoral degree in Immunopharmacology from the University of Athens in Greece.

She is currently an attending Neonatologist at the Boston Children’s Hospital Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and Instructor at Harvard Medical School.Dr. Angelidou has a special interest in neonatal trained immunity. Under the mentorship of Drs. Ofer Levy and Mihai Netea, she focused on newborn innate immune ontogeny and the role of vaccine-induced "heterologous protection" against unrelated pathogens, research for which she received the Marshall Klaus Perinatal Research Award from the American Academy of Pediatrics.

In the Boston Children’s Hospital (BCH) Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) our philosophy is to ensure that every patient receives the best care for the best possible outcomes. We consider our “patient” to be the baby and the family; we are constantly striving to serve the needs of both. This requires a team based approach with all members being essential. The future of any society depends on its ability to foster the health and well-being of the next generation. This is the reason I chose to become a pediatrician. As a neonatologist at Boston Children’s Hospital, I am devoted to serving our smallest and most vulnerable patients by integrating highly specialized clinical care with rigorous translational science. I put great emphasis on establishing trusting relationships with families and integrating parental values in decision-making.
