Duke Division of Neonatology

The Neonatology faculty currently provides complex care at two sites: the 67-bed level IV intensive care unit at Duke Hospital and an 18-bed Level II unit at Duke Regional Hospital located in Durham County. We expect the Duke Hospital Intensive Care Nursery to grow by 14 beds in the next 12 months.

The Division is a highly respected and productive member of the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institutes of Child Health and Human Development Neonatal Research Network (NRN). Mortality rates and rates of bronchopulmonary dysplasia continue to be among the lowest among U.S. tertiary centers. Presently the Division has over 30 sponsored or investigator-initiated clinical trials in preparation, actively enrolling, or in follow-up. Our clinical research enterprise, including the listings of active clinical trials, is described on the Duke Neonatal Perinatal Research Unit (NRPU) website: https://pediatrics.duke.edu/divisions/neonatology/research/neonatal-perinatal-research-unit-npru). In addition to clinical research, 3 of our faculty are clinician scientists with active translational and bench research in microbiome and metabolomics, neural injury and repair, and developmental immunology.
