Lida Hariri, MD, PhD
Associate Professor of Pathology
Academic Interests
I am a pulmonary pathologist and biomedical optical engineer. My main academic interests include high resolution optical imaging for early, microscopic disease detection, diagnosis and monitoring in interstitial lung diseases, inhalational lung diseases, post-acute sequelae of COVID, other non-neoplastic lung diseases and lung cancer. I work closely with collaborators in the Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine and frequently have DPCCM fellows as members of my lab conducting research.

+Current Projects
- Endobronchial Optical Coherence Tomography (EB-OCT) for early diagnosis of ILD as a potential replacement for tissue biopsy (multi-center study at MGH and BIDMC)
- EB-OCT for assessment of interstitial lung abnormalities - EB-OCT for longitudinal monitoring of microscopic disease progression in ILD over time
- EB-OCT for assessment of lung disease in post-acute sequelae of COVID-19
- Automated, supervised convoluted neural networks for detection and quantification of microscopic disease in ILD, ILA and other non-neoplastic lung diseases
- Polarization sensitive EB-OCT for detection and quantification of fibrosis in ILD and other non-neoplastic lung diseases
