Dr. John Dagle is a professor of Pediatrics, Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, and Epidemiology, the interim medical director of the Stead Family Children's Hospital Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and Neonatal Transport, and co-director of the Iowa Statewide Perinatal Care Program. His research is focused on identifying genetic and metabolic risk factors for several common complications seen in infants following preterm birth. The goal of this clinical/ translational research is to allow early identification and precision-based environmental modification to reduce short-term morbidities and improve long-term health outcomes into adulthood.
