Research in pediatric neonatology
Jay Milstein, M.D.
Jay Milstein studies circulatory problems of the neonate including 1) arterial systolic and diastolic waveform analysis, 2) myocardial dysfunction and ventricular/vascular interactions, and 3) pulmonary vascular impedance and branching patterns. He also studies an integrative model of care that incorporates healing and curing in parallel as soon as any diagnosis is made. Healing care addresses cognitive, emotional and spiritual needs. The model requires a shift from a mindset of "doing to" one of "being with" our patients and their families.

Anthony Philipps, M.D.
Anthony Philipps conducts research involving endocrine control of growth and development in the perinatal and adolescent periods, specifically related to gene expression of Insulin-Like Growth Factors (IGF's) and their binding proteins (IGFBP's), insulin/glucose metabolism (including glucose transporter proteins), and trace metal metabolism with specific focus on zinc and its transporter proteins. His research performed in the Department of Nutrition, College of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences as part of the Graduate Nutrition Group, UC Davis.

Francis Poulain, M.D.
Francis Poulain's current research focuses on the role of selected surfactant apoproteins in the defenses of the lung against environmental pathogens and toxicants. He uses a mouse model to investigate the effects of protein deficiency on the lung injury resulting from exposure to pollutants such as environmental tobacco smoke and ozone.

Mark Underwood, M.D.
Dr. Mark Underwood is interested in the intestinal innate immune system, particularly as it relates to a disease of premature infants, necrotizing enterocolitis. Approaches include (1) a rat model investigating the interactions between the immature gut and the developing gut microflora, (2) molecular biological evaluation of human tissues from infants with necrotizing enterocolitis, and (3) human clinical trials of probiotics and prebiotics.
