Catalina Bazacliu is a clinical assistant professor of pediatrics in the Division of Neonatology at the University of Florida, Gainesville. Her clinical and research interests are pulmonary hypertension, comprehensive care of bronchopulmonary dysplasia, and use of point-of-care ultrasound in the neonatal intensive care unit. Dr. Bazacliu’s
work is aimed at broadening the application of neonatologist- performed ultrasound to improve accuracy and expedite the diagnosis as well as guide the cardiovascular stabilization of the acutely ill neonate. Along with her collaborators, she is developing a neonatal point-of-care ultrasound program.

Philip Thaler Levy is an assistant professor of pediatrics at Harvard Medical School and a staff neonatologist at Boston Children’s Hospital. His patient-oriented and translational research initiatives focus on cardiac mechanics in congenital and acquired cardiopulmoanry diseases in children. Dr. Levy’s work is part of a larger international collaborative that was established to examine emerging measures of cardiac function and pulmonary hemodynamics in large preterm birth cohorts. The major objective of his research is to extend the capacity for ultrasound as a tool to enhance the understanding of new- born cardiopulmonary disease and explore its contribution in quantitative cardiac phenotyping.
