Neonatology

Faculty Labs

Our lab studies how early-life immune and hematopoietic development shapes neonatal responses to inflammation and infection to better understand susceptibility to disease across the lifespan.

Our lab studies the immunological and molecular mechanisms of pregnancy and neonatal immunity to improve protection against life-threatening infections and reduce pregnancy-related complications.

Our lab uses advanced brain imaging and predictive modeling to identify early biomarkers of neurodevelopmental disabilities in high-risk infants and improve early detection, intervention, and outcomes.

Our lab studies lung development and disease by using transgenic mouse models, gene targeting, and molecular approaches to uncover mechanisms of epithelial differentiation, surfactant regulation, and respiratory disorders.
