Sudarshan R. Jadcherla, MD, is a member of the Section of Neonatology at Nationwide Children's Hospital, a Principal Investigator at the Center for Perinatal Research at The Research Institute at Nationwide Children's Hospital, a Professor of Pediatrics at The Ohio State University College of Medicine and the Medical Director of the Neonatal and Infant Feeding Disorders Program. He holds the Nationwide Foundation Endowed Chair in Neonatology. Dr. Jadcherla's research focuses on maturational and dysfunctional mechanisms of neonatal feeding and aero-digestive disorders. Supported by the National Institutes of Health, Dr. Jadcherla is conducting innovative research in elucidating the physiological and pathophysiological mechanisms involved with swallowing, aero-digestive protection, gastroesophageal reflux disease and chronic lung disease of infancy. Understanding the mechanisms during maturation, whether functional or dysfunctional, will form the basis for evidence based diagnosis and therapeutic interventions. The long term goal of his program is to translate clinical research initiatives to crib-side in the neonatal ICU community and beyond by solving complex issues pertinent to feeding safety and airway protection. His program strives to improve feeding related quality of life among high risk neonates, lowers burden of care and hospital costs.
