Dr. Patrick Gleeson is an Instructor of Medicine within the Division of Pulmonary, Allergy and Critical Care at the Perelman School of Medicine. He received his BA from Haverford College in 2009, his MD from Pennsylvania State University College of Medicine in 2015, completed internal medicine residency at Temple University Hospital, allergy and immunology fellowship at Penn, and an MSCE from the University of Pennsylvania in 2022.

Dr. Gleeson is an allergist-immunologist and health services researcher whose work uses electronic health record and survey data to study barriers to inhalant allergen testing and the impact of testing and mitigation on asthma outcomes. He partners with Philadelphia community organizations and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs to understand and address respiratory health disparities, including in Veterans with deployment-related airborne hazard exposures.

Dr. Gleeson is an affiliate member of the Penn Center of Excellence in Environmental Toxicology and a member of the Institute for Immunology and Immune Health and the Penn Colton Center for Autoimmunity. His implementation-oriented research provides a critical bridge between mechanistic allergy and immunology research and population-level improvements in respiratory care.
