Dr Chess' research focuses on lung injury and repair in the neonate and optimizing treatment of neonatal respiratory failure. Clinical trials include adaptation of the immune response in BPD, cardiac dysfunction in Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernias (CDH), inositol supplementation in ROP and BPD, and use of omegaven in HAL-induced cholestasis. A novel respiratory monitor to detect changes in chest motion for patients on high-frequency ventilation has been developed in collaboration with BME and is being optimized for clinical use. This research complements clinical areas of focus related to optimizing treatment of neonatal respiratory failure, especially in CDH, including optimal modes of ventilation, surfactant therapy, iNO, and ECMO. Educational scholarly activity efforts focus on optimizing graduate medical education in Pediatric subspecialties nationally. (funded by NIH, NYS DOH, ALA, AAP, APPD Learn and UofR)
