To Breathe or not to Breathe, that is the question!

Focus on perinatal development of Inspiration and autonomic control & how novel deep machine learning of vital parameter data better the diagnostics and treatment of newborn, children and adult patients

Eric Herlenius studied medicine at ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ where he also defended his PhD thesis in developmental neuroscience 1998. He subsequently joined Profs Iku Homma and Evan Snyder for postdoc at Showa University, Tokyo and Children’s Hospital, Harvard ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ school, Boston respectively, to study activity dependent development and plasticity of functional neural networks. He then specialized in Pediatrics and continued investigations regarding perinatal development of autonomic control. He is a Physician-scientist focused on translational medicine, combining basic mechanistic and patient research to develop novel methods to screen, detect and protect against inflammation related breathing disorders.
