Neonatal Preterm Laboratory
A hub for research and innovation aimed at improving the lives of some of the smallest, yet strongest people born.
Welcome
Welcome to the house of NeoPremLab.
We are a team made up of Neonatologists, Neonatal Nurse Practitioners, Nurses, Respiratory Therapists and Students (along with many other multidisciplinary team members!) focused on all aspect of neonatal and preterm research, innovation and clinical care.
We work in a Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) primarily focused on preterm birth and complications. We are a 40 bed unit in a hospital that does about 4000 deliveries per year with about 80-100 extreme preterm births per year.
Here is where you will find our research and our innovations; as well as, information for parents.
Come see how we are improving the lives of our little warriors!
