Portrait

Dr. Phelp's research focus is Neonatal clinical trials in retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). Insoitol supplementation from birth to reduce ROP is her main project, funded by both the National Institute of Child Health and Development and National Eye Institute. In addition, on behalf of the Division of Neonatology we participate in the ongoing follow up of studies initiated during our 5 years with the NICHD Neonatal Research Network funded since 2001. These include randomized controlled trials of early CPAP in preterm birth, two levels of target pulse oximetry, aggressive vs conservative phototherapy, hypothermia for hypoxic encephalopathy and several important observational studies.
