Shiv S. Kapoor

Shiv S. Kapoor is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Maryland, Baltimore, serving as a neonatologist in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) where he provides critical care to preterm and term infants.

His educational background includes:

• Medical education at Maulana Azad Medical College, New Delhi, India
• Pediatrics residency at Medical College of Virginia, Richmond, VA
• Fellowship in Neonatal Perinatal Medicine at University of Maryland, Baltimore, MD

Dr. Kapoor's research centers on improving survival and developmental outcomes for extreme preterm infants, with specialized focus on environmental exposures and their impact on prematurity. His clinical work at Mercy Medical Center NICU integrates translational research on toxicant exposure pathways and neonatal vulnerability periods, addressing critical gaps in developmental toxicology and perinatal environmental health.

His publication record reveals consistent emphasis on environmental determinants of infant health, particularly how prenatal toxicant exposure influences birth outcomes and neonatal development. This work bridges clinical neonatology with environmental epidemiology, highlighting modifiable risk factors for adverse perinatal outcomes.

As an educator, Dr. Kapoor actively mentors medical students, pediatrics residents, and neonatal fellows in clinical care protocols and research methodology, emphasizing evidence-based interventions for high-risk neonates.

He collaborates with multidisciplinary NICU teams at Mercy Medical Center, coordinating clinical care delivery while implementing research protocols focused on environmental exposure mitigation strategies for vulnerable infant populations.
