Neonatal Research Faculty (MD, PhD or MD/PhD) Division of Neonatology/Neonatal Diseases Research Program/Childrens Mercy Kansas City The Division of Neonatology (Director: Dr. Steve Olsen) and the Neonatal Diseases Research Program (Director: Dr. Venkatesh Sampath), along with the Childrens Mercy Research Institute (CMRI Director: Dr. Tom Curran) announce a national search for an MD, PhD, or MD/PhD scientist to conduct translational or basic science research in the areas of neonatal lung or gut injury. MD or PhD scientists studying the molecular mechanisms of neonatal diseases such as bronchopulmonary dysplasia, necrotizing enterocolitis, genome-microbiome interactions, and the developing gut-brain axis are encouraged to apply. The Division of Neonatology, the Neonatal Diseases Research Program, and the CMRI are in an exciting period of research growth and expansion. The Neonatal Diseases Research Program (NDRP) is located in the new state-of-the-art, nine floor, CMRI research building in 2020 (375,000 total sq. feet). The new CMRI building houses the majority of CM investigators pursuing translational research, and is equipped with a full complement of research cores including genomics, flow cytometry, imaging, GMP biologics, and a rodent vivarium. The NDRP is housed on the 7th floor of CMRI research tower with adequate space for current personnel and future expansion. It is anticipated that recruited personnel will be housed in proximity to our current lab. The NDRP, which focuses broadly on the molecular mechanisms regulating endothelial and epithelial injury in the context of the developing lung and intestine, is funded by the NHLBI, the NIDDK, the NICHD, the March of Dimes, and several local foundations. The laboratory combines human genetic studies, cell-culture models, microbiome analyses, transgenic mouse models, novel therapeutics, and translational studies to investigate the inflammatory/developmental basis of neonatal diseases such as bronchopulmonary dysplasia, necrotizing enterocolitis, and rare infectious diseases. The laboratory currently employs 6 full time PhD and masters level scientists. Junior faculty and clinical fellows from Neonatology and infectious disease participate in the NDRP. We advocate a culture of discovery, innovation, team science, diversity and excellence. Access to an active neonatal genomic biorepository established by Dr. Sampath, that houses de-identified DNA samples from phenotypically well-characterized preterm and term cohorts, is available. Active collaborations with the Childrens Mercy Center for Pediatric Genomic Medicine (Director: Dr. Tomi Pastinen) are underway for advanced sequencing-based discovery of human genetic loci affecting several neonatal diseases and include the use of single-cell sequencing to characterize cellular phenotypic alterations in pre-clinical models. The Genomic Answers for Kids Study (GAKS), pioneered by the Genome Center, is a one of a kind study characterizing the genetic basis of rare/undiagnosed diseases using advanced sequencing/epigenetic profiling. Synergies can be realized with the Center for Perinatal Research (Director: Dr. Michael Soares), which utilizes rodent models to examine placental development and function in health and disease. Dr. Robert Lanes (Physician in Chief, CMKC) laboratory, that focuses on perinatal programming of adult onset disease, is in close physical proximity to the NDRP, and provides another venue for collaboration. The Fetal Health Center, which is dedicated to management of babies diagnosed with complex pathology/diseases, and includes a tissue biorepository, offers opportunities for research and collaboration. Other major centers of research excellence within the CMRI are Population Health, Precision Therapeutics, and Innovation in Healthcare Delivery. We are seeking a highly motivated individual, who thrives in a collaborative team science environment, with a demonstrated ability to lead research. The ideal candidate will have an emerging or established independent research program, with a track record of quality publications as well as K, R21, R01, or equivalent, extramural funding.

Kansas City's strong culture of philanthropy has led to the creation of many endowed roles available to distinguished and accomplished leaders. An endowed position may be extended to the selected candidate, contingent upon their qualifications and record of achievement. Established in 1996, Clinical Pharmacology has a national and international reputation for impactful translational science and excellence in training. The Division has a strong record for successful extramural funding and an outstanding publication record. Clinical Pharmacology faculty and staff are national leaders in pharmacogenetics, institutional leaders in health equity research, and outstanding clinicians, using pharmacology and toxicology to improve the care of patients. Among the groups in the Division are: GOLDILOKs Clinic (GOLDILOKS stands for Genomic- and OntogenyLinked Dose Individualization and cLinical Optimization for KidS.) is a multidisciplinary clinic with a pediatrician, clinical pharmacist, and nurse who see patients with a variety of conditions including adverse drug reactions, drug-drug interactions, and medication nonresponse. Additionally, the clinical staff meet weekly with genetics lab experts and a social worker to discuss upcoming patients and formulate a multidisciplinary care plan individualized to each patient. The clinic offers educational opportunities to pharmacy students, medical students, residents, and fellows. The Medical Toxicology Consult Team provides consultative services for a variety of environmental, exposure, overdose and poison issues. A Children's Mercy Medical Toxicologist is on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Our toxicologists also provide medical direction for the Kansas Poison Control Center. This service on average has 150-200 beside consults per year. Academically, the toxicologists provide lectures to CMH Pediatric Emergency Medicine fellows and residents, CMH Pediatric Medicine fellows, TMC/University Health Emergency Medicine residents, and 5th/6th year UMKC medical students. In continuing the collaboration of research, Kansas Fights Addiction Grant-Opioid Withdrawal Treatment Clinical Practice Guideline was rewarded. Childrens Mercy Hospital (CMH) Pediatric Clinical Pharmacology (T32) training program is the Division of Clinical Pharmacology and Toxicology at CMH one of the largest and most comprehensive Pediatric Clinical Pharmacology programs in North America. Our fellowship training program is accredited by the American Board of Clinical Pharmacology (ABCP) and has formally trained 31 fellows since 1998 (21 pediatricians, 6 pharmacists, 1 advanced practice nurse, 3 PhD scientists). The drug biotransformation core serves to characterize drug disposition pathways along with the consequences of drug metabolizing enzyme (DME) polymorphisms in subcellular systems derived from pediatric tissues. A cell culture facility permits fellows and faculty to explore the regulation and expression of DME related proteins. A robust analytical core supports in vitro and in vivo pharmacology- and metabolomics-related research, emphasizing the characterization of developmental trajectories of drug disposition and response pathways. Partnerships with University of Kansas Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy core allow for the characterization of drug metabolites or biomarker development. The Analytical Chemistry Core Director can provide both didactic and hands-on instruction to our trainees on quantitative pharmacology methods. We have an internationally recognized pharmacogenetics/genomics (PGx) program defining gene sequence variations related to drug disposition and action. This program also administers the Pharmacogene Variation (PharmVar) Consortium. The Pharmacogene Variation (PharmVar) Consortium is a globally recognized central repository for pharmacogene (PGx) variation. The major focus of PharmVar is to catalogue allelic variation of genes impacting drug metabolism, disposition and response and provide a unifying designation system (nomenclature) for the global pharmacogenetic/genomic community.
