Eric A. F. Simões, MB, BS, DCH, MD, earned his medical degree from the University of Madras, India, in 1984. He completed pediatric infectious diseases fellowship training at the University of Colorado School of Medicine in 1989, at which time he joined the faculty of the Department of Pediatrics and Children's Hospital Colorado. From 1995 to 1999, Dr. Simoes directed the Pediatric Infectious Diseases Fellowship Program. Since 2001 he also has had an appointment as Professor of Pediatric Infectious Diseases and Tropical Child Health with the Department of Paediatrics, Obstetrics, and Gynaecology at the Imperial College of Science and Technology in London, UK.

Dr. Simões is working with the World Health Organization for the management of common pediatric conditions in developing countries (Integrated Management of Childhood Illness) and studies the epidemiology, pathogenesis, and prevention of the short- and long-term effects of respiratory syncytial virus infection in children. Dr. Simoes has played a significant role in the World Health Organization's initiative to reduce childhood and infant mortality throughout the world with the development of a strategy called "Integrated Management of Childhood Illness." He has worked on this initiative since 1989, including testing and implementing its guidelines in many countries throughout Africa, Asia, and Europe.

Dr. Simões has published over 170 journal articles, books, book chapters, scholarly reviews, and abstracts. He is widely sought as a speaker, teacher, and consultant, both nationally and abroad.
