Research summary

Leif D. Nelin's research focuses on the care and long-term outcomes of premature infants, particularly those with chronic lung disease of prematurity known as bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). His work spans clinical outcomes research (feeding, discharge practices, ventilator management, neurodevelopment), health services topics like insurance and daycare effects on respiratory health, and laboratory studies of lung blood vessel cells related to nitric oxide signaling and pulmonary hypertension. This blend of bedside clinical studies and basic cell biology work is aimed at improving care for critically ill newborns and children with chronic respiratory conditions.
