Dr. Moll is an Instructor in Medicine at the Channing Division of Network Medicine and Associate Physician in the Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School.  He received his undergraduate degree from Michigan State University, his medical degree from Penn State, and a Master of Public Health in Quantitative Methods from the T.H. Chan Harvard School of Public Health. He completed his residency in internal medicine at Boston University Medical Center and his fellowship at Brigham and Women’s Hospital.  He has been a part of the ATS since 2015 and has been an active member of the ATS Section on Genetics and Genomics Web Committee since 2021. He also leads the Genetic Epidemiology of COPD (COPDGene) study COVID-19 Omics Working Group.

His research focuses on using genetics and other Omics in early identification and therapeutic intervention for individuals at high risk of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, pulmonary fibrosis, and related outcomes. Dr. Moll has been at the forefront of using Omics to predict risk of and understand heterogeneity in lung disease. He has demonstrated productivity with 56 publications (20 first or senior author) which has led to an NIH K award, 8 research awards, and 22 invited presentations.

Dr. Moll is passionate about using Omics research to improve the lives of pulmonary patients. He attends on the pulmonary consult service at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and carries a clinic in the VA Boston Healthcare System. His patients are the primary inspiration for his research.  He is also a dedicated mentor to residents, fellows, and postdoctoral researchers.  Dr. Moll will continue to work with the Section on Genetics and Genomics to promote respiratory-Omics research and advance patient care.
