I am a clinician-scientist and Associate Professor of Medicine at McGill University, with appointments in Critical Care, Microbiology and Immunology, and Experimental Medicine. My translational research program bridges pulmonary biology, critical care medicine, metabolism, and immunology, with a focus on how nutrient sensing, inflammation, and immune responses influence organ injury and disease progression. My work in critical care research focuses the interaction between metabolism, nutrition, immunity, and infection in critical illness, including the development of biomarkers and precision diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for ICU patients. Through mechanistic studies, patient-derived models, multicenter clinical research, and translational platforms, my research aims to identify therapeutic targets and develop individualized approaches to improve outcomes in critical illness.

Dr. Alexander Lawandi is a clinician–scientist at the McGill University Health Centre with specialized training in Infectious Diseases, Medical Microbiology, and Critical Care Medicine. He completed his medical degree at McGill University, followed by residency training in Internal Medicine, Infectious Diseases, and Medical Microbiology at the same institution. He subsequently completed a Critical Care Medicine fellowship at the NIH Clinical Center. In parallel with his clinical training, he undertook advanced research training at the NIH and earned a Master of Health Sciences in Clinical Research from Duke University.

His research centers on the pathogenesis of severe bacterial infections, with a particular emphasis on antibiotic resistance and tolerance. Using advanced proteomic approaches—including both discovery-based and targeted mass spectrometry—his work aims to uncover how bacterial pathogens adapt at the protein level when exposed to antibiotics, and how these adaptations influence clinical outcomes. He is particularly interested in identifying bacterial “states” associated with virulence and treatment failure, with the goal of improving therapeutic strategies in life-threatening infections.

Dr. Lawandi has received competitive funding support, including a clinician–investigator award from the Fonds de recherche du Québec, and has been recognized with the Nesbitt-McMaster Award for Excellence in Medicine and Surgery. His work bridges bedside clinical care and mechanistic laboratory investigation, with the overarching aim of improving outcomes for patients with severe infections.
