    Adam Frymoyer

    Clinical Professor, Pediatrics - Neonatology

    Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy research uses quantitative pharmacology and quality improvement science to improve care for neonates and children. I develop individualized, evidence-based dosing strategies and translate them into real-time clinical tools, while leading research to identify and close gaps between evidence and practice across the newborn continuum. Across both programs, my goal is to translate rigorous science into better bedside care and improve child health.

    Current Research and Scholarly InterestsThe focus of my laboratory is the immune response to viral vaccines evaluating the ontogeny of responses in infants and limitations in immunocompromised hosts. We have studied responses to an early two-dose measles immunization, one versus 2 doses of varicella immunization, and polio vaccine in preterm versus term infants. Other active areas of research include measles and varicella immunity in HIV infected individuals, and transplant recipients.
