Basic / Translational Research
The Division of Neonatology at Cincinnati Children’sis at the forefront of basic and translational research, driving discoveries that transform care for critically ill newborns.
Spanning molecular and cellular studies, preclinical models and translational approaches, our investigators explore the fundamental mechanisms of fetal and neonatal development, with a focus on perinatal lung biology, immune system maturation, neurodevelopment, neonatal metabolism, and pregnancy.
Beyond our division, a vast network of researchers across Cincinnati Children’s is engaged in perinatal and neonatal- and pregnancy-focused research, including experts in developmental biology, maternal-fetal medicine, perinatal immunology, and regenerative medicine.
This highly collaborative environment ensures that our research has a broad impact, fostering innovations in neonatal care and improving outcomes for the most vulnerable infants.
Below are a selection of laboratories that are actively conducting research related to neonatal-perinatal biology. This list is not exhaustive, and fellows can choose to conduct research in laboratories beyond these.
