We would like to study how the body responds to the flu infections or flu vaccine in mothers and their children.

To find out safety and effectiveness of dupilumab (Dupixent) in infants with severe eczema.

The aim of this project is to delineate androgen effects on regional adipose depots and ectopic fat non-invasively by magnetic resonance (MR)-based imaging techniques in youth with Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH).

To find out the effects of ApoE4 on the Preterm Brain.

Validate the use of respiratory inductance plethysmography (RIP) and esophageal manometry in diagnosing upper airway obstruction (UAO) in newborn infants.

Develop better ways of screening and diagnosing certain types of brain injuries in infants and children who are born with and without congenital heart disease.

To understand how environmental factors affect a child's early brain development. This includes positive factors like social support and parent-child bonding and challenges like poverty, stress and early life exposures.

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.

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.

We are interested in observing whether and how infants learn when interacting with a robot during a learning assessment contingency paradigm.
