Learning Objectives
By the end of this episode, NICU Grads will be able to:
1. Explain the pathophysiology of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC)
2. List factors that increase and decrease risk for developing NEC
3. Describe clinically presentation of NEC
4. Review how to manage neonates with NEC
5. Describe latest research efforts to further enhancing understanding, early diagnosis, and prevention of NEC

Dr. Lila Nolan is the Chief Fellow in Newborn Medicine at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis and President of the Society for Pediatric Research Junior Section (2021-2022). Her fellowship research has focused on the study of neonatal intestinal mucosal immunology and necrotizing enterocolitis. Dr. Nolan was a recipient of the 2020 AAP Marshall Klaus Research Award for Basic Science and is currently supported by NIH Ruth L. Kirschstein Postdoctoral Individual National Research Service Award.
Misty Good MD, MS FAAP

Dr. Misty Good is the Division Chief of Neonatal-Perinatal Medicine at University of North Carolina (UNC) at Chapel Hill. Prior to joining UNC, she was Co-Program Director for the Neonatal-Perinatal fellowship program at Washington University. She has dedicated her career to studying necrotizing enterocolitis at the cellular and molecular mechanisms with a special focus on investigating the inflammatory response during NEC and potential therapeutics to attenuate this response.To further this research goal and identify novel approaches to mitigate or prevent NEC in the future, Dr. Good has developed a large multi-center biorepository for infants with NEC to evaluate the biological signature of infants with NEC. In addition, she has been the recipient of multiple honors and awards not only for her outstanding scholarly work but also for her diligent mentoring of the next generation of physician-scientists.
