Biography
Stuart L. Goldstein, MD has been an active investigator in the field of pediatric acute kidney injury (AKI) since 2000. Dr. Goldstein's main research foci include AKI epidemiology and outcomes, acute renal replacement therapy provision and investigation of novel urinary AKI biomarkers in the pediatric population. Dr. Goldstein has a strong record of interdisciplinary and inter-institutional collaboration, evidenced by his establishment and directing of the Prospective Pediatric Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy (ppCRRT) and its success as well as collaboration with critical care physicians, cardiologists and emergency medicine physicians to study AKI in their populations. This collaboration includes publication of the first article demonstrating the existence of a cardio-renal syndrome in pediatric patients with acute decompensated heart failure. Dr. Goldstein has also performed the only published assessment of novel urinary AKI biomarkers in a heterogeneous group of critically ill children, demonstrating their accuracy to predict AKI development and severity. Dr. Goldstein has been developing a program to investigate and minimize nephrotoxic medication associated AKI in non-critically ill children.

Biography
Catherine Krawczeski MD is an associate professor of pediatrics with the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine and is clinical faculty in the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit. She is the director of Quality Improvement and Clinical Effectiveness for the Heart Institute and a co-director of the Center for Acute Care Nephrology. Dr. Krawczeski received her medical degree from the University of Missouri and completed pediatric residency at Washington University/St. Louis Children’s Hospital and fellowships in pediatric cardiology and pediatric critical care medicine at the same institution. She is board certified in both specialties. Dr. Krawczeski has been on staff at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital since 2001. Dr. Krawczeski focuses her research on clinical outcomes after pediatric cardiac surgery. She has a particular interest in the effects of cardiopulmonary bypass on the kidney. She has had a close collaboration with Prasad Devarajan, director of the division of Nephrology, translating biomarker technology to the bedside for early diagnosis of acute kidney injury (AKI) after cardiopulmonary bypass. Their successful discovery and validation of early AKI biomarkers, such as NGAL, has set the stage for future studies of potential therapeutic interventions. This collaboration has been further strengthened by the recent creation of the Center for Acute Care Nephrology (CACN), a joint effort by the Heart Institute and the division of Nephrology for the purpose of coordinating clinical care and AKI translational and clinical research. Dr. Krawczeski also has an interest in Quality Improvement. She has been instrumental in creating Heart Institute “dashboards” to track outcomes and determine strategic improvement priorities. She collaborates closely with the Anderson Center to facilitate improvement initiatives within the Heart Institute.

Biography
Bradley S. Marino, MD, MPP, MSCE is an Associate Professor of Pediatrics with the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine and an attending cardiac intensivist in Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center’s (CCHMC) Cardiac Intensive Care Unit. Dr. Marino is also currently the Director of the Heart Institute Research Core and the Director of Heart Institute Neurodevelopmental Clinic at CCHMC. A native of New York, Dr. Marino graduated with Honors from University of Virginia and earned his medical degree from Harvard Medical School in 1994. He completed his pediatric residency at Johns Hopkins Hospital and a combined fellowship in Cardiology and Critical Care Medicine at The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. Dr. Marino’s clinical interests are focused on outcomes in infants, neonates, children, and adolescents with complex congenital heart disease (CHD). In addition Dr. Marino received a Master’s degree in Public Policy from the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University in 1994 and a Master’s of Science degree in Clinical Epidemiology from the Center for Clinical Epidemiology and Biostatistics at University of Pennsylvania in 2005. Dr. Marino has been a faculty member in the divisions of Cardiology and Critical Care Medicine at CCHMC since 2007. Upon his arrival, he led the development of HIRC, an innovative platform that supports clinical and translational science by facilitating the design of research processes, implementation of research plans, dissemination and application of findings, and development of research professionals. HIRC presently provides support to more than 75 principal investigators on 180 clinical and translational research projects. Dr. Marino has focused his own research efforts on the impact of neurodevelopmental, psychosocial, and physical morbidities on quality of life, functional status, and behavioral and emotional outcomes in the high-risk complex congenital heart disease population. He is the creator of the Pediatric Cardiac Quality of Life Inventory (PCQLI), a validated disease-specific health-related quality of life tool and was awarded several intramural and extramural training grants to test the psychometric properties of the PCQLI in the multi-center, multi-national PCQLI Validation Study in the United States and the United Kingdom. To address the lower quality of life associated with patients with severe heart disease, Dr. Marino spearheaded the creation of the Heart Institute Neurodevelopmental Clinic (NDC) in 2011. The NDC multi-disciplinary team consists of cardiologists, cardiovascular geneticists, neurologists, developmental pediatricians, psychologists, educators, occupational therapists, nutritionists, and social workers who address neurodevelopmental issues that impact learning, psychological and social functioning and physical functioning. It is one of few clinics of its kinds in the US for “high-risk” children with heart disease. Dr. Marino’s expertise in the field of outcomes research in pediatric cardiology has led to many presentations, publications, and invitations to serve on national expert committees including American Heart Association’s Emergency Cardiac Care Pediatric Subcommittee and Pediatric Cardiac Intensive Care Society Board of Directors. Dr. Marino has been recognized in Cincy Magazine: Best Doctors in America – Pediatric Cardiology Pediatric Critical Medicine in 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011.

Pediatric high blood pressure and cholesterol, diet and exercise to prevent adult heart disease
Biography
Elaine M. Urbina, MD, graduated from the Medical College of Georgia in 1988. She subsequently trained in Pediatrics at the University of California at San Francisco. She completed her Pediatric Cardiology fellowship at Tulane University in New Orleans, Louisiana, in 1994 where she accepted an assistant professor position. In addition to practicing clinical Pediatric Cardiology at Tulane, she was also director of Preventive Cardiology and the Pediatric Echocardiography Laboratory. Her research interests led her to join the world-renowned Bogalusa Heart Study, one of the longest running epidemiologic studies of CV risk factors in children. As co-investigator under the tutelage of Dr. Gerald S. Berenson, she initiated the non-invasive imaging program and supervised collection of CV data for over a decade. Dr. Urbina joined Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center as associate professor in October of 2003 and became director of Preventive Cardiology in 2006. This new opportunity allowed her to concentrate her clinical practice on the diagnosis and treatment of high blood pressure and cholesterol. She continues her research studies concentrating on non-invasive imaging methods to measure atherosclerosis with a focus on vascular function abnormalities using the modalities of: - Carotid Ultrasound
- Arterial Stiffness
- Endothelial Function
Her current research includes the application of these new techniques to study the roles that pre- and post-natal nutrition, overweight, high blood pressure, cholesterol and diabetes play in the development of hardening of the arteries.
