Neonatal Clinical Research Program

The Division of Neonatology's clinical research program is comprised of top neonatal physicians, respiratory therapists, nurses, and research coordinators. The team's primary research sites include level II, III, and IV Neonatal Intensive Care Units within San Diego County, as well as collaborations with many leading healthcare institutions and clinics.   ​

The scope of our neonatal research and development includes a range of topics including human milk nutrition, point-of-care ultrasound, lung development, microbiome analysis, and exploratory metabolite and genomic analysis. Our core Neonatal Clinical Research Team (NCRT) consists of our research director, research coordinators, and per diem nurses and respiratory therapists.

Clinical Research Mission

Our mission is to develop the most efficient and impactful clinical research to generate knowledge that will improve the health outcome and quality of life of sick and premature newborns.​
