Robert S. Tepper studies lung health and breathing in infants, especially babies born prematurely. His work measures how airways and lung tissue grow after birth, tests interventions like extended continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) to support lung development, and examines how factors during pregnancy—such as maternal smoking and vitamin C supplementation—affect children's respiratory function. He also contributes to large child-health cohort studies linking early-life exposures to later outcomes.
