Each year Graham’s Foundation and our partners honor leaders and champions who are dedicated to helping change the outcomes for premature babies and their families.

James Moore M.D., Ph.D., is currently the Division Chief for Neonatal-Perinatal Medicine, and an Associate Professor of Pediatrics at the University of Connecticut School of Medicine and Connecticut Children’s Medical Center in Hartford Connecticut. He is also the Chair of the Virtual Health and Telemedicine program for the hospital.

Dr. Moore has been involved in research pertaining to the reduction in neuronal cell death (apoptosis) and improving subsequent neuroprotection after Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE) in neonates through the use of Erythropoietin.

He also has published works focusing on gender differences in response to Erythropoietin use. Dr. Moore is currently active in clinical research at the University of Connecticut in Necrotizing  Enterocolitis (NEC), gut microbiome and human milk nutrition.

Dr. Moore reflects Graham’s Foundation’s mission and values of improving the lives of preemies. It is because of his dedication, innovation, and contributions, Graham’s Foundation and Pampers are honored to present Dr. Moore as the 2019 Award Honoree.

 

We hope you’ll join us Thursday, November 7, in honoring Dr. James Moore.
