The course will also include some of the recent advances in surfactant delivery and recommendations. Dr. Susan Guttentag (Vanderbilt) will start with a detailed overview: Surfactant Biology, Lamellar Body, and Surfactant Protein B Fundamentals. Several speakers will discuss some new advances in basic surfactant biology examining novel pathways (Epithelial GPR116, Jim Bridges, (NJH Denver) & Natriuretic Peptide Pathway (Rita Ryan (Case Western Reserve Univ). Updates on Surfactant Protein C, and ABCA3 biology, representing two common abnormalities in lung disease, will be provided by Michael Beers (Penn) and Jennifer Wambach (Wash U), respectively. Dr. Larry Nogee (JHU) will present on what the latest practice for Genetic testing for neonates with atypical RDS: A practical approach. Turning to some clinical data, Dr. Beena Sood (Wayne St Univ) will present her work on Phospholipid changes in clinical gastric aspirates.

Neonatal Genetics: Genomics in Newborn Care
Target Audience
Neonatologists, Geneticists, Genetic counselors, NICU Fellows, Junior Faculty, Associate Professors, and Scientists interested in developing their understanding and skills to advance their research career in Neonatal Genomics
Session Description
A postgraduate course focusing on the implementation of genomic care in newborns and the available clinical, translational, and research opportunities. The course will cover the entire spectrum of applications of genomic medicine in newborns. In addition to an overview, we will cover various aspects of genomics including the need for rapid sequencing, cost-effectiveness, the genetic basis of various neonatal conditions, implementation experience in the NICU, and ethical, legal, and social implications and issues of diversity and equity.
Learning Objectives
- Upon completion, participants will be able to understand how genomic applications can improve the care of newborns, especially in the NICUs.
- Upon completion, participants will be able to determine the role of rapid sequencing in the NICU, the genetic basis of various neonatal conditions, and research opportunities.
- Upon completion, participants will be able to learn about implementation experience, its cost-effectiveness, ethical, legal, and social implications, and issues of diversity and equity in genomic applications.

Neonatal Neurology: Better than expected: Neurodevelopment and follow-up of NICU infants for the next half-century
Target Audience
Neurologists, Neonatologists, Developmental Pediatricians, Psychologists, and Trainees
Session Description
This postgraduate course will discuss our recent advancements in improving neurodevelopmental outcomes in NICU graduates. Speakers will address how neonatal neuroimaging helps us to improve counseling, monitoring, and neurodevelopmental outcomes through the NICU follow-up clinic. Through real-world experiences, we will address the impact of social determinants of health and adversity on neurodevelopmental outcomes, and discuss new models of care to enable NICU follow-up clinics to improve neurodevelopmental outcomes of NICU graduates for the next half-century. Both didactic and interactive methods will be used to optimize learning and discussion between session participants.
Learning Objectives
- Identify advances to date in monitoring and improving motor and cognitive outcomes in the NICU follow-up clinic.
- Utilize neonatal neuroimaging to better guide improved surveillance, counseling, and intervention for NICU graduates in the NICU follow-up clinic.
- Identify key considerations for improving neurodevelopmental outcomes in the next half-century, including considerations of social determinants of health, adversity, and resilience.
