Department of Pediatrics

As an attending physician in Pediatric Emergency Medicine, I seek to obtain expertise with data science and machine learning methodologies to better elucidate phenotypic characteristics and more precisely identify interventions in the pediatric acute care setting. I derive satisfaction from treating pediatric patients with acute care conditions in the pediatric emergency department in a team with residents, nurse practitioners, and nurses. With respect to research, the work I have performed to date demonstrates an avid interest in clinical and health services research in a variety of domains w...

Dr. Chang’s research focuses on understanding how brain injury, that occurs around the time of birth, leads to movement disorders like cerebral palsy. In her lab, Dr. Chang uses mouse models to study how intrauterine growth restriction and high oxygen exposure lead to brain injury and how that injury manifests in movement disorders. Her research uses a combination of unique cellular techniques, MRI, and motor tests. The ultimate goal of Dr. Chang’s research is to develop techniques for early detection and treatments for babies with brain injuries to ensure the best possible neurodevelopmental ...

As an academic hospital-based pediatrician, Dr. Pryor's clinical interests include general inpatient pediatric medicine, newborn medicine, and caring for critically ill patients. Her academic interests include medical education and pediatric quality improvement. Specifically, her education focus is on learner assessment and mentorship in Undergraduate Medical Education, teaching in many UGME domains including clinical medicine and problem based learning.  She is an elected member of the Feinberg Academy of Medical Educators (FAME) and is currently serving as a College Mentor for the Northweste...

My primary interest is intestinal failure and transplantation. Children with intestinal failure are living longer with transplant free survival given advances in intestinal rehabilitation. My center has participated in the pediatric short bowel syndrome trials using teduglutide.  This trial was instrumental in allowing teduglutide to be FDA approved in children. There are patients who are unable to be tapered from TPN and will undergo intestinal transplantation. This is also a fragile population that require special expertise with regard to the nutrition and immunosuppression.

Dr. Green graduated from the Ohio University College of Osteopathic Medicine and then did his pediatric residency at Case Western Reserve University - Metrohealth in General Pediatrics. He then went to Nationwide Children's Hospital and completed his Pediatric Gastroenterology training along with an additional year in Pediatric Gastrointestinal Motility. After training he was on faculty at the University of California San Francisco and established a Pediatric Gastrointestinal Motility Center. He then joined the faculty at Northwestern University / Lurie Children's Hospital in 2016.

I provide clinical care and conduct clinical and translational research to culturally transform our sensitivity to children's pain: to better prevent, assess, treat, and understand children's pain. To make Chicago & America Childkind. My focus is acute, post-operative and procedural pain, including genetic differences in pain sensitivity and analgesic metabolism. Assessment of pain in vulnerable children. Use of multimodal analgesia, opioid-sparing therapies, opioid prescribing, and anticipatory guidance for securing, monitoring, and disposing of opioids to prevent pediatric opioid misuse. I h...
