He introduces the “Leopard Project,” a new NIH-funded study using AI and novel genomics techniques to explore long-term respiratory outcomes in preterm infants. Join the conversation for insights into how genetics and advanced data analysis could redefine our understanding of BPD and its lifelong impacts.
