Vincent Aluquin

Vincent Aluquin, MD, MS serves as an Associate Professor in the Department of Pediatrics Children's Heart Group at Penn State College of Medicine. His clinical and research work focuses on pediatric cardiovascular conditions with particular expertise in pulmonary hypertension and related disorders in children.

Dr. Aluquin's primary research interests center on pulmonary hypertension in pediatric populations, particularly as it relates to bronchopulmonary dysplasia in preterm infants, sickle cell disease complications, and inflammatory conditions. His work spans multiple disciplines including neonatology, cardiology, pulmonology, and hematology, with a strong emphasis on identifying biomarkers and developing diagnostic approaches for complex pediatric cardiovascular conditions.

Analysis of Dr. Aluquin's publication record reveals a consistent research trajectory focused on understanding the pathophysiology of pulmonary hypertension in pediatric populations. His most recent work employs multiomics approaches to characterize disease subtypes, particularly in preterm infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia. Earlier publications established important connections between nocturnal hypoxia and pulmonary hypertension in sickle cell disease, and explored cardiovascular complications in patients undergoing stem cell transplantation.

Dr. Aluquin has collaborated extensively with researchers across multiple disciplines, including pulmonologists, immunologists, and hematologists. His work on folate receptor beta expression demonstrates cross-disciplinary collaboration with rheumatology researchers studying inflammatory conditions.

Dr. Aluquin's research program appears to focus on the Children's Heart Group within the Department of Pediatrics, where he investigates cardiovascular complications in children with complex medical conditions. His work bridges clinical care and basic science research to improve outcomes for pediatric patients with cardiovascular disorders.
