Dipan Karmali, M.D.
Biography: Dipan Karmali, M.D. received his undergraduate degrees in Neuroscience and Behavioral Biology and in Chemistry from Emory University, followed by a Master of Arts in Medical Sciences from Loyola University Chicago. He earned his medical degree from Loyola University Chicago Stritch School of Medicine and completed his residency in Internal Medicine at the University of Louisville. He subsequently completed his fellowship in Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine at the University of Miami/Jackson Memorial Hospital, where he also served as a T32-funded postdoctoral research fellow. Currently, Dr. Karmali is a Clinical Instructor in the Division of Pulmonary, Critical Care, and Sleep Medicine at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine.
Dr. Karmali’s research lies at the intersection of environmental health, respiratory physiology, and sleep-disordered breathing. His work focuses on how air pollution—particularly fine particulate matter (PM2.5)—alters autonomic function, respiratory mechanics, and sleep architecture. He leads NIH- and foundation-funded studies employing personal air pollution monitors, home-based polysomnography, and advanced physiologic markers to explore cardiopulmonary outcomes in both domestic and international settings.
Dr. Karmali is a recipient of the ATS ASPIRE Award and the Southeast Collaborative Pilot Award. He serves on the Planning Committee for the ATS Clinical Problems Assembly. At the University of Miami, he attends on the pulmonary and critical care services at Jackson Memorial Hospital and the University of Miami Sleep Center. He is also active in fellow education, curriculum development, and mentorship in global health, sleep medicine, and advanced imaging.
