Biography

Angela Rogers, M.D., is a Professor and Chief of the Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine in the Department of Internal Medicine at UT Southwestern Medical Center. She specializes in critical care medicine and pulmonary medicine.

Dr. Rogers earned her medical degree at Harvard Medical School. She completed a residency in internal medicine at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, where she also received advanced training through a pulmonary and critical care fellowship. During her fellowship, she also earned a master’s degree in clinical effectiveness from the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.

Certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine in pulmonary disease and critical care medicine, she joined the UT Southwestern faculty in 2026. Before coming to UT Southwestern, she served as a Professor and the Director of Critical Care Research for the Department of Medicine at Stanford University, where she also served as Associate Director of the Pulmonary and Critical Care Fellowship Training Program and Associate Program Director of the Internal Medicine Residency.

At UT Southwestern, Dr. Rogers’s clinical work is in the Medical Intensive Care Unit and in the general pulmonary clinic. The focus of her research is the biology and treatment of critical illness, particularly sepsis and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Her work uses advanced genomic and multiomic approaches to better understand disease severity, identify patient subtypes, and guide therapeutic decision-making. Through extensive publications and collaborations, she has helped define molecular “endotypes” and biomarkers that predict outcomes and enable more precise, individualized care.

Her research has contributed to major advances in the field, including studies of immune responses in sepsis and COVID-19, biomarker discovery, and clinical trials exploring innovative therapies for ARDS. She has published more than 100 academic articles and contributed to four books. She has a long-standing passion for training the next generation of physician-scientists and continues to work with mentees at all levels, from medical school through junior faculty.

Dr. Rogers is a Fellow of the American Thoracic Society and has served as Chair of its Assembly on Allergy, Immunology, and Inflammation and as a member of its board of directors.

In 2021, she earned Stanford Health Care’s Physician of the Year Award.
