Newcastle Neonatal Research Team

We are a multi-disciplinary, clinically focused, neonatal research team based in Newcastle, UK with collaborators across the UK, Europe and USA. Our main areas of research focus on neonatal nutrition, necrotising enterocolitis (NEC), growth and long-term outcome, as well as exploring parental experiences of baby loss.

Our studies include large scale collaborative trials of feeding and nutrition, mechanistic studies focusing on the gut microbiome, transcriptome and metabolome, development of gut enteroid models, T-cell development, motor function, and long-term metabolic outcome using longitudinal cohort studies.

​Team members are based at Newcastle Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, Northumbria University and Newcastle University and include Janet Berrington, Chris Stewart, Chris Lamb, Judith Rankin, Claire Wood, Tim Cheetham, Nick Embleton. Current or recent doctoral students include Stefan Zalewski, Tom Sproat, Claire Granger, Andreas Kakaroukas, and Otilia Popescu.

Partners

We work closely with parent-led organisations, advocacy groups and charities who provide support and advise on our projects. We are indebted to the hundreds of parents of sick babies who have supported us and joined our studies - without them none of our projects would succeed. We also gratefully acknowledge all the organisations who have provided funding for our projects. Some of these are listed below, but there are many others.
