Dr. Luc P Brion has published >130 manuscripts, 15 chapters, 20 clinical guidelines and presented >130 abstracts. During his training in pediatrics and in neonatology, he participated and conducted studies on growth, nutrition and assessment of renal function in neonates and children. As Faculty at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York (AECOM), he was funded for years by the NIH, American Heart Association, Genentech Foundation, and Pharmacia for basic sciences research in developmental nephrology, specifically renal acid secretion, carbonic anhydrase, pathophysiological effects of acidosis and growth. Dr. Brion has served on the IRB at AECOM. Dr. Brion was Director of the Fellowship Training Program in Neonatal-Perinatal Medicine at AECOM in 1997-2006. He was Director of the Fellowship Training Program in Neonatal-Perinatal Medicine at the University of Texas Southwestern (UTSW), Dallas, TX, in 2007-2019.
Dr. Brion's current research interest includes (1) improving nutrition and growth in very preterm and very low birth weight infants to decrease mortality and morbidity including necrotizing enterocolitis and to optimize neurodevelopment and to reduce signs suggestive of metabolic syndrome in high-risk preterm infants and (2) using evidence-based medicine to improve mortality and morbidity in neonates.
Dr. Brion retired on April 10, 2023 and is now Professor Emeritus, Department of Pediatrics, Division of Neonatal-Perinatal Medicine, UTSW.
