Biography
Hide

Dr. Jobe is a neonatologist and professor of pediatrics at Cincinnati Children’s. His research contributions include studies of surfactant metabolism, the hormonal regulation of lung maturation, mechanisms of lung injury with mechanical ventilation, and neonatal resuscitation. He has been chair of the NICHD Neonatal Research Network Steering Committee and chair of the NICHD Global Research Network Steering Committee. He has a 26-year collaborative research project on fetal development with Professor John Newnham at the University of Western Australia. He remains actively involved with clinical and translational research to improve outcomes for infants. He was an associate editor for Journal of Pediatrics for 18 years. He presently is a consultant for the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation for infant mortality. Noteworthy recognitions are the E. Mead Johnson Award for Pediatric Research, the Virginia Apgar Award from the AAP, and election to The US National Institute of Medicine.
