Newcastle Neonatal Research Team
We are a multi-disciplinary, world-leading, clinically focused, neonatal research team based in Newcastle, UK with collaborators across the UK, Europe and USA. Our research is built on a legacy (click here) of over 100 years neonatal research in Newcastle in the areas of nutrition, social determinants of health over the life-course, metabolism and infectious disease. Current research focuses on neonatal nutrition in preterm infants, necrotising enterocolitis (NEC), growth, lung function 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 and metabolome, development of gut enteroid models, immune 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. Our research programme is coordinated by Janet Berrington and Nick Embleton. You can read about post-graduate (doctoral) student projects here and follow us on twitter here @NeoResearch_Net and here @neonatalbiobank

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.
