Research Description
The focus of my research and scholarly work has been in neonatal immunology, neonatal infectious disease and necrotizing enterocolitis. I am specifically interested in the prenatal influences on the developing immune system. We use human tissue, blood and saliva samples to discover the microbial, metabolomic and immunological profiles and mechanisms of prematurity and its complications.
As the Director for Patient-Oriented Research, I oversee numerous clinical trials and translational studies in neonatology. Topics include immunological mechanisms of neurodevelopmental decline in MECP2 deletion syndrome, infectious causes of chronic lung disease, optimizing antimicrobial treatment in neonates, development of non-invasive diagnostics, aerolized surfactant, erythropoetin for brain protection and others.
