Understanding Preterm Birth: OU’s Biorepository Expands to Advance Neonatal Health

OU’s HEROES-X biorepository is expanding to better track preterm & full-term infants—adding milk nutrient + maternal health data to spot #NEC, #ROP & #lung disease risks earlier. As a resident trained in OK, I’m proud to see OU shaping the future of #neonatal care. ou.edu/news/article...

Presented on ISPCTN & ECHO at our residency journal club @OchsnerKids—programs bringing pediatric research to underserved communities. With NIH funding at risk, we must advocate for their future. Every child deserves access to innovation. #PediatricResearch #HealthEquity
