INTERNAL MEDICINE RESEARCH

Kara Goss Lab

Our lab brings together a multidisciplinary group of researchers to study how premature birth affects the heart and lungs throughout life. This includes in-person studies in adolescents and adults who were born moderately to extremely preterm (<32 weeks gestation).

We also use animal studies to understand the direct effects of postnatal hyperoxia on the developing heart and lungs.

Dr. Goss's research career into the long-term effects of preterm birth began with a single question: a patient asked if her premature birth 54 years ago could have caused her current lung problems.
