Gerbrich van den Bosch is a researcher at Erasmus MC in the Department of Neonatal and Pediatric Intensive Care. Her work centers on improving pain management and care practices for preterm infants, particularly those affected by necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) and exposed to clinical stressors in the NICU.
Her research interests include:
- Neonatal pain assessment and analgesia
- Mechanisms of visceral pain in preterm infants
- Long-term developmental and psychological impacts of NICU stress
- Systematic reviews and meta-analyses in neonatology
- International consensus development for clinical guidelines
The recent trend in her publications shows a strong focus on evidence-based practices, with multiple contributions to expert consensus statements and large-scale surveys across Europe. Her work integrates clinical research with developmental outcomes and family-centered care perspectives.
Scientific contributions include:
- Leading and co-authoring international consensus guidelines on pain management in NEC
- Contributing to systematic review and meta-analysis protocols
- Investigating anesthesia practices through multicenter European surveys
- Participation in the HIPPO study group on neonatal stress exposure
She has contributed to the supervision of doctoral research, as indicated by one supervised thesis. While no specific grants are listed, her collaborative network spans multiple countries and institutions, suggesting involvement in externally funded research initiatives.
Gerbrich van den Bosch is actively involved in research teams focused on neonatal outcomes, pain mechanisms, and clinical practice improvement, working closely with experts like Simons S.H.P., Reiss I.K.M., and ten Barge J.A.
