(1/2) I also had the privilege of presenting part of my thesis work titled “Association of Genomic Ancestry Proportions and Urinary Metabolites of Extremely Premature Infants at High Risk of Developing Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia” during a poster discussion session.

Proud to share our latest publication out in @pediatricresearch.bsky.social! We investigated the effects of extended CPAP on the metabolomic profile and its association with lung function in preterm infants, providing insight into neonatal respiratory support. Read it here: doi.org/10.1038/s413...
