Marco Schnater

Dr. Marco Schnater is a researcher in the Department of Pediatric Surgery at Erasmus MC, Faculty of Medicine. His work focuses on congenital anomalies in neonates and children, particularly congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) and congenital lung malformations, with an emphasis on long-term outcomes, clinical management, and genetic underpinnings.

• Institution: Erasmus MC
• School: Faculty of Medicine
• Department: Pediatric Surgery
• Role: Researcher

His research interests span pediatric surgery, neonatal surgical outcomes, genetics of congenital defects, and quality of life in survivors of major congenital anomalies. He investigates conditions such as CDH, pulmonary sequestration, congenital pulmonary airway malformation, and hepatoblastoma, often through cohort studies and collaborative research.

The recent publications highlight a strong trend in both clinical and genetic research. Articles analyze long-term morbidity, imaging strategies, and molecular risk factors, reflecting a multidisciplinary approach combining surgery, pediatrics, pulmonology, and human genetics. His work frequently appears in peer-reviewed journals such as the Journal of Pediatric Surgery and Pediatric Pulmonology.

Dr. Schnater has contributed to over 65 research outputs and supervised at least three academic projects. While no specific awards are listed, his involvement in high-impact genetic and clinical studies suggests significant recognition in the field.

He collaborates extensively with researchers across Europe and North America, particularly in studies involving large multi-center datasets. His work is integral to advancing understanding and improving care pathways for children born with complex congenital conditions.
