NICU Research

Pediatric research is an essential component of Brenner Children’s Hospital’s overall mission. The experts at Brenner’s neonatology division participate in numerous clinical trials and research studies each year. Our neonatologists, nurses, respiratory therapists and other health care professionals collaborate with our colleagues at Brenner and at other institutions throughout the United States to search for new and better ways to care for critically ill infants and improve their health outcomes.
