Paediatrics

Christabella Ng

“I hold a NIHR clinical lectureship post in paediatric respiratory medicine. During my PhD, I used magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to study the gut function and transit in cystic fibrosis. I have collaborated with multiple departments across the university to pursue my research interests using MRI. My current research aims to use MRI to assess lung structure and function in lung diseases such as bronchopulmonary dysplasia, and to use MRI in evaluating the effects of modulator therapies in cystic fibrosis.”

Dr T’ng Chang Kwok

"I am T'ng, a neonatal subspecialty clinical doctor and academic clinical lecturer based at the University of Nottingham. I am also the resident doctor representative for the British Association of Perinatal Medicine data and informatics working group, as well as the UK Resuscitation Council’s Newborn Life Support and Advanced Resuscitation of Newborn Infant subcommittee.

My research interest is in exploring approaches to incorporate artificial intelligence into routinely recorded national neonatal electronic patient records to support clinical decision making for high-risk premature infants. My previous Action Medical Research training fellowship allowed me to collaborate with the Turing Institute and the University of Exeter in developing novel dynamic machine learning approaches in predicting personalised trajectories for respiratory outcomes and mortality in premature infants. I am now working with stakeholder groups to explore how the approaches developed can be embedded within current electronic patient records to support shared clinical decision making, especially on high-risk treatment such as postnatal corticosteroid use. I also plan to adopt similar approaches developed for other neonatal conditions. My long-term academic goal is to bridge the gap between neonatal care and machine learning to improve the care of premature infants."

Academic Clinical Fellows

Senali Seneviratne

"I’m an Academic Paediatrics trainee at Nottingham. I completed medical school at the University of Birmingham and went on to do my Academic Foundation training in Leicester, where I worked with the Paediatric Respiratory medicine group during my academic rotation.

"My current research interests are on the use of metabolomics within Paediatric Oncology, particularly for the diagnosis and prognostication of childhood cancers.”
