The Section of Neonatology, Perinatal and Pulmonary Biology at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center brings together clinical care, research, and education to advance care for all newborns, including newborns born prematurely and infants born with congenital abnormalities.
The Section includes the Divisions of Neonatology, Perinatal Biology and Pulmonary Biology:
The Division of Neonatology is a nationally recognized program that focuses on providing optimal clinical care for neonates and comprehensive training for fellows and residents. The division conducts cutting-edge research in many areas, with the central goal of improving the care of newborns and infants with congenital disorders.
The Division of Perinatal Biology focuses on improving the care of premature newborns through translational and basic research in a bench-to-bedside approach. Research focuses on the role of inflammation and infection in perinatal morbidity and mortality.
The Division of Pulmonary Biology focuses on research to understand the normal processes of lung development, as well as the diseases that disrupt normal lung structure and function. Research groups utilize both basic and translational approaches to investigate pulmonary disorders, with the goal of preventing and improving lung disease in infants, children, and adults.
