MAJOR RESEARCH INTERESTS:
There has been an evolution of my research interests from initially understanding clinical and laboratory correlates of allergy, immunodeficiency and infectious diseases to an appreciation of the impact of these illnesses and their progression to chronic illnesses on children and families. HIV/AIDS in children has served as a paradigm for this evolution and has led to my expanding interest into the impact of disease on quality of life, including palliative care, pain management and end of life care.

Biography:
James M. Oleske, M.D., M.P.H.
François-Xavier Bagnoud Professor of Pediatrics
James M. Oleske, M.D., MPH, a multi-boarded Pediatrician, is the François-Xavier Bagnoud (FXB) Professor of Pediatrics at the RBHC Rutgers/NJMS, Newark, New Jersey. He is Director of the Division of Pediatric Allergy and Immunology and Infectious Diseases in the Department of Pediatrics at Rutgers/NJMS and serves as the Medical Director of the FXB Center for Children, one of the nation's largest treatment and clinical trials centers for childhood HIV/AIDS and the Center for Laboratory Immunology. An undergraduate at U of Detroit (BS ’67) medical graduate of the than College of Medicine & Dentistry of NJ (71), and Masters in Public Health from Columbia University (’74), Dr. Oleske completed a Pediatric residency and a fellowship in Ambulatory Pediatrics at the Harrison S Martland Hospital of CMDNJ in Newark NJ (’74) and then completed a 2 yr. National Cancer Institute fellowship in Pediatric Allergy, Immunology & Infectious Diseases at Emory University and CDC, Atlanta, GA.(’76). He returned following his training in Atlanta to Newark, having an appointment as assistant Professor of Pediatrics at NJMS and Director of the Fifth Channel program at Saint Michael Hospital where he also served as the director of Allergy/Immunology and Pediatric Infectious Diseases. There, with Dr. Anthony Minnefor, he established the first Pediatric Allergy/Immunology and Infectious Disease fellowship program in New Jersey (78) which later became two RRC approved Pediatric Fellowship training programs (AI and PID). In 1983, he moved the Division’s clinical and fellowship Training programs to the United Children’s Hospital of NJ and in 1986 with Mary Boland, established the Children’s Hospital AIDS program (CHAP) for the provision of comprehensive, multi-disciplinary family centered and compassionate care for infants, children and adolescents infected with HIV. At that time, with Thomas Denny, he established, at the NJMS in the Department of Pediatrics, the Center for Laboratory Immunology (CLI). As Director of the CLI, he has additional certification in Diagnostic Laboratory Immunology, holding both New Jersey Medical and Laboratory Immunology licenses. He is also board certified in Pediatrics, Allergy and Immunology, Pediatric Infectious Diseases, Pain Management, Hospice and Palliative Care and is a Certified IRB Professional. In 1997, CHAP was relocated to the Newark campus of UMDNJ as the François-Xavier Bagnoud (FXB) Center, which by than reached across traditional boundaries to link research and practice through education; the Center provides clinical care, education, and technical assistance in the United States and globally to support capacity building to address the HIV/AIDS epidemic. Despite extensive and diversified research, much of this work over the past 30 years, focused on both prevention and treatment for Perinatal HIV/AIDS infection in infants, children and adolescents in US and underserved International countries. These experiences lead to advocacy for pain management and palliative care in pediatric chronic illnesses. In addition to being the Medical Director of the FXB center, he co-chaired with Dr, Wafaa Assad the first US guidelines for the prevention and management of HIV/AIDS for the AHCPR (‘91-‘93) and with the NICHD, CDC and NIAID, participated in the development and updates on the natural history, prevention and treatment guidelines for Perinatal, Pediatric and Adult HIV/AIDS, their complicating Opportunistic Diseases and adverse effects of ART treatment. In 2002 he became the Medical Director of the Circle of Life Foundation for the provision of palliative care for children and adolescents with chronic diseases an outgrowth of his early experiences with the high mortality and the painful lives experienced by children with AIDS. Throughout his career, Dr. Oleske has authored over 250 peer-reviewed articles, written 60 chapters and medical reports and participated in over 230 abstracts presented at national and international meetings. Despite his major clinical, administrative and research responsibilities, Dr. Oleske continues his public advocacy role for women, children and adolescents with HIV infection and AIDS and children and adolescents with chronic life threatening and limiting diseases that require palliative care, pain management and Hospice/End of Life care.
