Prof. Ehrhardt has a strong translational research background combining basic and clinical research with particular focus on the immature lung and bronchopulmonary dysplasia. Besides providing novel insights into the pathogenesis and potential treatments of bronchopulmonary dysplasia, his research team is strongly engaged in the epidemiology and prognostication of the acute and longer-term morbidities following preterm birth. He has a long-lasting interest in the respiratory management of preterm infants and how to better support their spontaneous respiration and to keep them more stable on non-invasive ventilation.
