Biography

Dr. Vincent Valentine, FCCP, attended LSU  Medical School and completed his fellowship at Stanford University Medical Center in Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine and an advanced fellowship in Heart-Lung and Lung Transplantation. Dr. Valentine’s clinical interests are in lung transplantation and end stage lung diseases, especially the diffuse parenchymal lung diseases, cystic fibrosis and pulmonary hypertension. Dr. Valentine’s research interests are in lung transplantation, defining and managing acute and chronic rejection as well as CMV disease in the lung allograft, infectious complications and their relationships to chronic rejection, pulmonary complications in the immunocompromised host, and managing patients with cystic fibrosis and patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. He has participated in many different research studies mostly translational in nature, completing 10 and has published 30 articles with more than 100 abstract presentations.
