Research
Kurt Schibler, MD is the principal investigator for the NICHD Neonatal research Network at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center. In this capacity he supports the conduct of multicenter randomized clinical trials and observational studies on premature and high-risk infants within the Neonatal Research Network. Dr. Schibler is also involved in thematic collaborative research investigating the immune mechanisms underlying morbidity and mortality associated with preterm birth. One area of current investigation aims to identify infants at high risk for developing necrotizing enterocolits and late onset infection and to devise strategies to prevent and to treat these devastating complications of prematurity.
