Celebrated our paper: We show that supporting, rather than suppressing, some cellular responses to hypoxia can be neuroprotective. Sometimes, hypoxia markers are not just biomakers, but therapeutic avenues.

Merry Christmas from the Neo ICU
…the place where tears of pure happiness or deep heartbreak can be shed at the same time just a few feet away, and can bring families together in the strongest way possible.
I will always be in awe of the strength, resilience, love and selflessness of NICU families.

We made gingerbread houses for our Lab Holiday Party this year 😍.
Lots of fun, much needed relaxation…and a bit of competition 😂

About 10 years into Neonatal ICU practice, and I am still in awe of how small our smallest babies are.

Adult CPR mask versus smallest Neonatal one 🤯 for comparison.

A scientific miracle is happening in this #organoid 🤩. Can’t wait to share the details once confirmed and validated!
