We are studying the role of gut microbiome diversity on the mucosal and systemic responses to Ty21a vaccine. This is to determine if a given microbiota composition is associated with specific immune responses and to evaluate the impact of an oral typhoid vaccination on the human gut microbiota.
Determine how potentially stressful situations, including prematurity, hospitalizations, maternal mental health and rapid repeat births can impact a baby’s development in the first 12 months of their life.
To find out how SARS-CoV-2 is spread throughout a household.
1) To determine if 5 doses of Epo (Erythropoietin) 1000 U/kg (birth weight) intravenous (IV) reduces the rate of death or neurodevelopmental impairment (mild, moderate, or severe) at 24 months of age.
2) To assess safety of Epo.
3) To determine whether Epo decreases the severity of HIE-induced brain injury as evidenced by early MRI and plasma biomarkers of brain injury.
The purpose of this study is to understand the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on vulnerable families in Los Angeles, including those caring for a child with special health care needs. Information from this research will be used to understand what the key resource and service needs of families are at this time as well as identify interventions that can be developed or adapted to address these needs.
We are interested in observing whether and how infants learn when interacting with a robot during a learning assessment contingency paradigm.
The effect of flu immunization on the level of immunity against the flu in breastmilk, and how this may help protect a breastfeeding infant.
Our goal is early identification of deviation from healthy brain development to allow targeted early intervention and improve developmental outcomes.
To determine if a home visitation program for breastfeeding mothers affects the health of their babies.
