Imran Mir

Dr. Imran Mir is an Associate Professor of Pediatrics and Program Director for the Neonatal-Perinatal Fellowship Training Program at UT Southwestern Medical School's Department of Pediatrics. His research focuses on placental biology's role in neonatal morbidities, particularly neurodevelopmental outcomes after birth asphyxia, fetal inflammatory responses, and autism spectrum disorders in preterm infants. He completed his medical training at Government Medical College in Kashmir, followed by pediatric residency at Oklahoma University and neonatal-perinatal fellowship at UT Southwestern.

• Education: MBBS (Government Medical College, Kashmir), Pediatric Residency (Oklahoma University), Neonatal-Perinatal Medicine Fellowship (UT Southwestern)

Research emphasizes placental contributions to neonatal conditions like necrotizing enterocolitis, cerebral palsy, and congenital heart disease. Key studies include placental pathology's link to autism in preterm infants and GFAP biomarker dynamics in encephalopathy. He leads the TeleNICU initiative to improve neonatal intensive care access.

Notable articles explore placental pathologies in SARS-CoV-2 pregnancies, prediction models for necrotizing enterocolitis severity, and neuroplacentology in congenital heart disease. His work integrates clinical care with precision medicine approaches for neonatal diseases.
