Animal Models in Pediatrics

The goal is to improve survival and reduce morbidity in early life. We investigate clinical complications and identify intervention strategies related to nutrition, microbiology and pharmacology, that have clinical effect. Using piglets as models of compromised newborns, we aim to improve the health of both infants and newborn animals. We aim to have the best available models for some of the most common disease conditions in early life.
