Generating and applying clinical research to improve the outcomes of neonatal intensive care [ 2019 - ]

Brief description The transition to independent breathing in the minutes after birth is challenging for many babies, particularly those born preterm. I am performing studies to help understand why some babies have problems and how best to help them. Improving the training of young doctors and nurses will mean that at-risk babies receive effective treatment. For those very preterm babies who are at high risk of long term lung and brain damage, I will be testing new therapies including stem cells and steroids.
