The Neonatal Clinical Research Team 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 and collaborates 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 clinical research team consists of a research manager, three research coordinators, a neonatal respiratory therapist/coordinator, and per diem neonatal nurses.
