<p>Our laboratory studies the pathogenesis of intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) and evaluates neuro-protective strategies to prevent brain injury after IVH in premature infants.&nbsp; The major projects in our laboratory are focused on determining a) the mechanisms underlying white matter injury in premature infants with IVH and approaches to minimize the damage, b) the effect of IVH on glutamatergic neurogenesis and corticogenesis in the developing brain, and strategies to restore these processes, and c) the effect of prematurity on neurogenesis and corticogenesis.</p>
<p>To answer our research questions, we employ a preterm rabbit model (<em>in vivo</em> studies) and an <em>in vitro</em> organotypic forebrain slice culture model of IVH. Our glycerol model of IVH in preterm rabbits exhibits periventricular white matter injury and post-hemorrhagic hydrocephalus similar to that seen in human preterm survivors with IVH. In addition, we analyze autopsy samples from preterm infants with and without IVH. Commonly used techniques include Immunohistochemistry, confocal microscopy, stereological quantification of neural cells, Western blot analyses, real time qPCR, slice culture, neuronal migration studies, viral gene transfer, flow-cytometry, and magnetic bead isolation of cells.</p>

Biography

<p>Praveen Ballabh, MD, is an attending neonatologist, Professor of Pediatrics and Neuroscientist at Children&rsquo;s Hospital at Montefiore and Montefiore-Einstein. For more than two decades, Dr. Ballabh&rsquo;s clinical focus has been in neonatology, working in level IV NICUs. His research is focused on intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) and he has made major contribution to the field. In fact, he has been one of the known world leaders in the field of IVH research.</p><p>In 1980, Dr. Ballabh completed his MD degree in Pediatrics in 1984 from the Institute of Medical Sciences in Varanasi, India. His postdoctoral training included a yearlong pediatric residency at Christ Hospital Medical Center in Oak Lawn, Illinois, which he completed in 1997, followed by a yearlong pediatric critical care fellowship at Children&rsquo;s Hospital of Michigan. From 1998 to 2001, he pursued his neonatology fellowship at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital, Cornell University.</p><p>Dr. Ballabh&rsquo;s career goal is to transform the quality of life of survivors with IVH by bringing novel ideas from bench to bedside. His work as a translational and clinical scientist has already contributed immensely to this field. He is director of a basic science laboratory located at the Kennedy Center, where he studies mechanisms of brain injury produced by IVH and evaluates neuro-protective strategies to prevent damage after IVH in animal models ( <a href="https://ballabhlab.einsteinmedneuroscience.org/&quot; target="_blank">https://ballabhlab.einsteinmedneuroscience.org/</a&gt;). His research is funded by National Institute of health, foundations, and industry for about two decades. He shares his discoveries and findings through publication in peer-reviewed journals, invited presentations, book chapters and abstracts. He has also been a reviewer for several journals including <em>Nature Medicine, Brain, Journal of Neuroscience, EMBO, Stroke, Developmental Neuroscience, the Journal of Neuroscience Research</em>, and others.</p><p>Dr. Ballabh is board-certified in neonatal-perinatal medicine by the American Board of Pediatrics. He is a member of the Society of Pediatric Research, the Society of Neuroscience, the American Heart Association and the American Stroke Association.</p>
