Our research group aims to delineate perinatal and early neonatal inflammatory responses in health and disease. We have established longitudinal cohorts of infants with neonatal encephalopathy and preterm infants as well as neonatal controls in order to explore the role of early inflammatory changes and developmental and neuroimaging outcomes. We have studied the role of activated monocytes and neutrophils in neonatal diseases and the use of immunomodulatory agents such as vitamin d, vitamin a, melatonin, DMOG and activated protein c.
We aim to understand the role of systemic inflammatory responses and neonatal multi organ outcome and the effect on childhood disorders and neurodevelopment. We are developing organ-specific biomarkers of longer term outcome and immunomodulation in vitro. Finally we are involved in the development of international clinical guidelines for neonatal sepsis and neonatal encephalopathy to implement to the results of the research.
