In the Division of Neonatal Medicine, we continually seek to improve health care practices by conducting clinical research. We have many ongoing clinical trials in our Intensive Care Nursery (ICN). The Neonatal-Perinatal Research Unit (NPRU) provides the professional infrastructure to complete these studies. The Operations Director of the NPRU is Kimberley Fisher, PhD. Dr. Fisher is assisted by study coordinators, Sandy Grimes, RN, and Kathy Foy, RN as well as other support staff that contribute to the success of clinical trials. Dr. Cotten, is the Medical Director for the NPRU and the Director of Clinical Research for the Neonatal-Perinatal Research Institute. Dr. Goldstein is responsible for the developmental follow-up portion of our studies and she is assisted by Melody Lohmeyer, RN, MSN.
