Nelson Claure, M.Sc., Ph.D.

Roles

• Biography

  + –
  Dr. Nelson Claure is Professor of Pediatrics and Biomedical Engineering at the University of Miami. He is part of the Faculty of the Division of Neonatology and is the Director of the Neonatal Respiratory Physiology Laboratory. Dr. Claure has focused his research on improving the understanding of neonatal respiratory physiology and mechanisms leading to respiratory and oxygenation instability in the premature infant, with particular emphasis on understanding the mechanisms and consequences of intermittent hypoxemia and hyperoxemia. Dr. Claure work also includes the pioneering development of advanced strategies of ventilatory support and oxygen supplementation. Dr. Claure’s work also includes multiple research studies and clinical trials investigating the impact of prenatal factors, postnatal events, and interventions on the respiratory outcome of the preterm infant.
  
  Dr. Claure’s research has been funded by extramural NIH and foundation grants. Dr. Claure received the Micah Batchelor Award for Excellence in Pediatric Research in 2014. Dr. Claure has published multiple peer-reviewed papers, reviews and book chapters. He has also contributed as a scientific reviewer for NIH, Canadian IHR and other U.S. and European academic and private foundations. Dr. Claure has mentored trainees in the Division of Neonatology and the Department of Pediatrics, as well as in the School of Engineering and outside institutions.
