Matthew Grant, MD, FIDSA

Matthew Grant, MD, is an infectious diseases specialist who treats patients with vulnerable immune systems, such as those undergoing cancer treatment and transplants. When meeting new patients, he tells them, “We are in this together.”

An assistant professor of medicine (infectious diseases) at Yale School of Medicine, Dr. Grant says the challenge of managing unusual and complex infections in the current era of limited fungal diagnostic tools inspired him to study physician decision making in prescribing antifungal medications.

In addition to his clinical practice, Dr. Grant serves as director of travel medicine for Yale Health, the Yale University health service.
