Transition to newborn life at birth

出生是我们将经历的最大的生理挑战之一，因此这是一个死亡风险高的时期也就不足为奇了。尽管存在风险，但我们对婴儿如何从胎儿过渡到新生儿生命的理解有限。我的研究重点是提高我们对婴儿如何在出生时过渡的理解，以便我们可以减少这些最脆弱的人类的风险。特别是，我想改善早产儿的预后。

Birth is one of the greatest physiological challenges that we will ever experience and so it is not surprising that it is a period of high risk of death. Despite the risk, our understanding of how infants transition from fetal to newborn life is limited. My research is focused on improving our understanding of how infants make the transition at birth so that we can reduce the risks for these most vulnerable of humans. In particular, I want to improve outcomes for infants born very premature.
