Dr. Koinis Mitchell is a Professor (Research) in the Departments of Pediatrics and Psychiatry and Human Behavior at the Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University. She is Vice Chair of Research for the Department of Pediatrics at Hasbro Children's/Rhode Island Hospital. Dr. Koinis Mitchell leads the Pediatric Health Disparities Research Program and directs the Community Asthma Program at RIH.
Dr. Koinis Mitchell has received continuous funding from the NIH since 2002 to study multi-level mechanisms that contribute to disparities in pediatric health outcomes in urban children, mainly in the areas of asthma, sleep health, obesity and lifestyle behaviors (e.g., physical activity). Her research includes observational and experimental studies, as well as efficacy and effectiveness trials. Her studies focus on the integration of biological, behavioral and clinical processes that will ultimately lead to personalized treatment approaches to improve health outcomes and decrease the burden in high-risk urban children with multiple co-morbidities.
Dr. Koinis Mitchell is invested in mentoring trainees and faculty at all levels in research, and in reaching their professional development goals. She accomplishes this through leading various research training programs and initiatives in the Department of Pediatrics and Division of Child Psychiatry.

Dr. Koinis-Mitchell's primary research interests involve the examination of multi-level (biological, clinical, familial/cultural, sociocontextual) contributing factors to pediatric health disparities. Her research and interventions have focused on the identification and integration of risk and protective factors that enhance health and sleep outcomes in urban children. Much of her research involves pediatric asthma, and asthma-related co-morbidities (e.g., obesity, allergic rhinitis), given the prevalance of asthma in urban minority childen. She applies a resilience-based theoretical framework to her research. Dr. Koinis Mitchell is the PI of NIH-funded observational, intervention, and experimental studies focused on pediatric disparities in the area of asthma, sleep, and obesity/physical activity. She is the Director of the Community Asthma Program at Hasbro Children's Hospital and the Vice Chair of Research in the Department of Pediatrics. She is invested in the research training and mentoring of trainees and faculty at all levels, particularly those from under-represented backgrounds.
