Portrait

Dr. D'Angio's research focuses on immunizations in the premature infant. In the previous year, he completed work, funded by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, showing that extremely premature infants generated antibody levels similar to full-term infants following administration of mumps-measles-rubella and chickenpox vaccines. He continues to lead a multi-center project funded by the National Institute Child Health and Human Development investigating the responses of premature infants to the conjugate pneumococcal vaccine. During this past winter, he and investigators at four other centers evaluated influenza vaccine in premature infants, and he has received funding from the Thrasher Research Fund for similar work in the coming influenza season. Dr. D'Angio is also involved in research into catheter-related thrombosis in newborns, prevention of catheter-related infections, and the effects of parental reading on early literacy skills in former premature infants.
