Dr. Esposito is an Assistant Professor of Medicine at Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine. He serves as the Director of Scientific and Translational Research in Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD), Co-Director of the Scleroderma Program, and Associate Director of the Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine Program at Feinberg School of Medicine. He is also the Associate Director of the Pulmonary Fibrosis Care Center Network at Northwestern Medicine. His research is funded by  the Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation Scholars program and aims to integrate clinical data and CT images to create a multimodal model that could individualize approaches to care of scleroderma-associated ILD (SSc-ILD). His work utilizes artificial intelligence/machine learning approaches to develop clinical prediction tools that identify patients with SSc-ILD who are at risk for poor outcomes from their disease. The results promise to prevent the loss of lung function and improve patient-centered outcomes. He has established himself as a clinical and research expert in SSc-ILD through leadership of multiple initiatives at the level of professional and patient advocacy societies and through publication and dissemination of his research. He also serves as a co-investigator on many clinical trials that test novel diagnostics and therapies for SSc-ILD.
