Ben and Daphna speak with Dr. Aaron Hamvas from Lurie Children’s Hospital about his research on bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) and its potential genetic factors. Dr. Hamvas discusses the complexities of BPD, including the role genetics might play in predisposing infants to the condition. He introduces the “Leopard Project,” a new NIH-funded study using AI and novel genomics techniques to explore long-term respiratory outcomes in preterm infants. Join the conversation for insights into how genetics and advanced data analysis could redefine our understanding of BPD and its lifelong impacts.
