Zakka, Kimberley, MD
Dr. Zakka graduated summa cum laude from Boston College with a degree in biochemistry and Hispanic literature and completed a master’s with merit in health data analytics and machine learning at Imperial College London. She earned her MD from the American University of Beirut and completed her residency in pediatrics at MedStar Georgetown University Hospital.
Her current research lies at the intersection of metabolic dysregulation and asthma, with an emphasis on understanding how metabolic abnormalities contribute to more severe asthma and airway inflammation. She is also interested in leveraging artificial intelligence/machine learning to develop predictive models that can improve patient outcomes and enable more personalized approaches to asthma management.
"I chose BWH for its clinical excellence, research strength, and commitment to mentorship. The Division of Allergy and Immunology includes clinician-investigators who have helped define the field, and fellows receive meaningful support to develop their own research. What sets BWH apart, though, is its culture. The faculty are supportive, kind, and generous with their time, and they are genuinely invested in helping each fellow become a capable leader and independent physician-scientist."

I chose BWH for the people. I learned quickly as a resident that the faculty and fellows in the allergy/immunology division were incredible, and as a fellow, I continue to feel this. The group cares so much about my professional development and even more so about my personal wellbeing and growth. We’re a “big” division as far as allergy/immunology programs go, but still so closely knit. It’s this wonderful balance of rich science and down-to-earth people that I love most here.
Kovacs, Stephen, MD, PhD
I chose Brigham because of its unique blend of clinicians who are leaders in their respective diseases of interest, and talented researchers in both allergy and basic immunology. This environment produces exceptional mentors for developing myself into a well-rounded physician-scientist.

I chose Brigham and Women’s Hospital for fellowship as it offers the ideal environment to grow as a clinician with state-of-the-art research facilities, surrounded by leaders in the field, outstanding colleagues, and a culture of innovation and excellence. The faculty’s dedication to fostering the next generation of physician-scientists is evident in the individualized support and guidance provided throughout training.

Brigham and Women’s Hospital was my first-choice for fellowship training due to its unparalleled mentorship, strong culture of academic excellence, and dedication to developing physician-scientists. The program’s emphasis on rigorous research training and collaborative scholarship aligns perfectly with my career goals in academic medicine. My current research focuses on elucidating the mechanisms by which allergic inflammation shape pathogenic B cell responses within the germinal center.

I am very grateful to be training in allergy and immunology at Brigham and Women's Hospital, and have received excellent teaching and support from the faculty and staff here. Currently, I am conducting research on the development of pediatric food allergy.
