Biography

Dr. Malloy is a board-certified general pediatrician and pediatric infectious diseases subspecialist. She obtained her medical degree from George Washington University where she studied the impact of microbes on the host immune response and discovered how these relationships could affect immune development in pediatric patients. She went on to a residency in pediatrics at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and was then inspired to pursue a pediatric infectious diseases fellowship at the Children’s National Medical Center in conjunction with the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Through her research fellowship at the Vaccine Research Center at NIH, Dr. Malloy developed her research focus on age-dependent immune development and how this is impacted by critical pediatric infectious diseases such as respiratory syncytial virus. Her current research program at USU is focused on the development of innate and adaptive immunity during early life and identifying innovative animal models and in vitro systems to design immunotherapeutic agents and vaccines for children.
