Susan M Slattery, MD, MS serves as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Pediatrics (Neonatology) at the Feinberg School of Medicine, Northwestern University. She practices as an attending physician in the Division of Neonatology and the Center for Autonomic Medicine in Pediatrics (CAMP) at Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago.
Her educational journey includes:
- MD: Loyola University/Stritch School of Medicine (2012)
- MS: Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine (2018)
- Residency: Pediatrics, University of Chicago Medical Center (2015)
- Fellowship: Neonatal/Perinatal Medicine, Northwestern University, McGaw Medical Center (2018)
Dr. Slattery's research is dedicated to defining the development of respiratory and autonomic control in infants, identifying maturational milestones for physiologic stability, and optimizing neurodevelopmental outcomes. Her primary fields of interest encompass Autonomic Medicine, Neonatology, Physiologic Monitoring, and Bioinformatics. Clinically, she specializes in Apnea of Prematurity, Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy, Congenital Central Hypoventilation Syndrome, and Chronic Neonatal/Pediatric respiratory failure.
Her recent publications (2023-2024) demonstrate a strong focus on rare autonomic disorders, particularly Congenital Central Hypoventilation Syndrome (CCHS) and ROHHAD. These works integrate computer-aided diagnostics, biosensor technology, and neurocognitive biomarkers, reflecting an interdisciplinary approach that bridges clinical pediatrics, medical informatics, and biomedical engineering.
Professional affiliations and leadership:
- Member, American Thoracic Society (2019-Present)
- Member, American Medical Informatics Association (2016-Present)
- Fellow, American Academy of Pediatrics (FAAP) (2011-Present)
