Research

Dr. Tagliabue has always contributed to international scientific research in the field of neonatology. He has published more than 40 articles in international “peer reviewed” journals including Pediatrics, Journal of Pediatrics, Pediatric Research and Critical Care Medicine. His fields of research are respiratory disease, nutritional disorders, retinopathy in premature babies and the behavioural development of the healthy new-born baby.

In addition, in order to facilitate research, Dr. Tagliabue endorses the following organisations:

icona-polmoni

A Respiratory Physiopathology laboratory called Neo-Fire, dedicated to the study of respiratory disease, in collaboration with the Department of Experimental Medicine at Milan’s Bicocca University and the Department of Bio-Engineering at Milan Polytechnic

logo-politecnico
icona-cervello

An agreement with the Psychology Department at the Milan’s Bicocca University to study the behaviours of the new-born baby

logo-bicocca
icona-polmoni

International collaboration with the Murdock Children’s Research Institute in Melbourne, Australia, to develop experimental research in the respiratory field
