Fayez M Bany Mohammed

Fayez M Bany Mohammed, MD, is a Professor in the Department of Pediatrics (Division of Neonatology) at the University of California, Irvine (UCI) School of Medicine. He also serves as an Attending Neonatologist at CHOC Children's, St. Francis Medical Center (Lynwood, CA), and UCI Medical Center (Orange, CA). His clinical and research work focuses on neonatal care for preterm infants, particularly those with hemodynamically significant patent ductus arteriosus (hsPDA).

Research interests include:

• Antioxidant mechanisms in preterm infants
• Biomarkers of oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation
• Pharmacologic interventions for PDA (e.g., ibuprofen, indomethacin)
• Role of superoxide dismutase (SOD) in vascular closure
• Animal models for neonatal oxidative stress
• Clinical trials in neonatal intensive care

Notable contributions involve a prospective observational study (2014) demonstrating reduced antioxidant activity (plasma SOD, urinary catalase) in preterm infants with hsPDA. His work has been cited in studies on retinal oxidative stress, nutrition in preterm infants, and angiogenesis suppression.
