Andrew M. Dylag

Andrew M. Dylag, M.D. serves as an Associate Professor in the Department of Pediatrics within the Neonatology division at the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry. His clinical expertise centers on respiratory support, oxygen therapy, and managing premature infants at risk for bronchopulmonary dysplasia and long-term pulmonary complications, with active involvement in the University of Rochester Medical Faculty Group and Accountable Health Partners networks.

His educational foundation includes:

• MD from State University of NY at Stony Brook School of Medicine (2010)
• Pediatrics Internship at Rainbow Babies & Children's Hospital (2010-2011)
• Pediatrics Residency at Rainbow Babies & Children's Hospital (2011-2013)
• Fellowship in Neonatal-Perinatal Medicine at Rainbow Babies & Children's Hospital (2013-2016)

Dr. Dylag's research investigates neonatal oxygen exposure effects on lung development, respiratory physiology, and airway hyperreactivity using mouse models and clinical studies. His work spans bronchopulmonary dysplasia mechanisms, long-term pulmonary outcomes in preterm infants, and viral infection responses, complemented by NICU quality improvement initiatives targeting chronic lung disease prevention through technology integration and error reduction protocols.

Analysis of his 15 most recent publications reveals dominant themes in proteomics-driven bronchopulmonary dysplasia research, machine learning applications for clinical decision support, and oxygen therapy optimization. His work consistently bridges molecular mechanisms with clinical outcomes, emphasizing interdisciplinary collaboration across neonatology, pulmonology, and computational biology to address respiratory morbidity in vulnerable preterm populations.

His scientific recognition includes:

• Education Award, Department of Pediatrics (2024)
• Consecutive Strong Star awards for family-centered care (2018, 2019)
• American Academy of Pediatrics travel grants (2015, 2016)
• Marshall Klaus Perinatal Research Award (2014)
• National Institutes of Health Loan Repayment Program Award (2014)

Dr. Dylag actively contributes to neonatal care advancement through clinical practice, research mentorship, and quality improvement leadership within the University of Rochester's Level 4 NICU environment, focusing on translating scientific discoveries into enhanced patient outcomes and care protocols.
