Biography

Clemente Britto-Leon, MD, specializes in pulmonary, critical care, and sleep medicine. Dr. Britto provides comprehensive care to patients with complex respiratory conditions, including asthma and cystic fibrosis.

As an associate professor at Yale School of Medicine, Dr. Britto is involved in research focusing on the airway epithelium, which is the thin layer of cells lining the airways, and its role in airway diseases. His work examines a protein called SPLUNC1, which is important for cystic fibrosis. Dr. Britto aims to understand how SPLUNC1 affects inflammation in the airways and how it might be used to reduce inflammation in cystic fibrosis.

Dr. Britto received his medical degree from the Luis Razetti School of Medicine at the Universidad Central de Venezuela. He completed his internal medicine residency at Albert Einstein Medical Center, followed by a fellowship in pulmonary and critical care medicine at Yale School of Medicine. He further specialized with a fellowship in adult cystic fibrosis, sponsored by the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.
