Professor Gustavo Nino, M.D., M.S., MBA serves as the Interim Chief in the Division of Pulmonary & Sleep Medicine, Director of Sleep Medicine and Airway Biology Research at Children\u2019s National Hospital in Washington, D.C. He is also a Tenured Faculty member in Pediatrics and a Principal Investigator at The George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dr. Nino has received research funding from multiple institutes within the United States National Institutes of Health, including the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, and the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
His research program focuses on airway epithelial responses to viral infections in newborns and infants, which are among the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in this vulnerable population. Dr. Nino\u2019s work specifically targets pediatric groups at high risk for severe viral respiratory infections, such as infants born prematurely or with trisomy 21, also known as Down syndrome. His laboratory also investigates how viral respiratory illnesses contribute to the development of obstructive sleep apnea in children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition, Dr. Nino has pioneered the application of pediatric-focused artificial intelligence to the analysis of neonatal respiratory data. His team has developed artificial intelligence tools for predicting severe viral infections and improving the clinical assessment of sleep breathing disorders in children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dr. Nino has authored more than 130 peer-reviewed publications, which have received over 3,700 citations. His academic contributions have been recognized at both the national and international levels. In 2019, he received the Robert Mellins Outstanding Achievement Award, the highest mid-career distinction presented by the American Thoracic Society Pediatric Assembly. He has served as an invited speaker and session chair at major scientific meetings, including those of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, CHEST, Pediatric Academic Societies, European Respiratory Society (ERS), the American Thoracic Society (ATS) and The International Society of Pediatric Respiratory Diseases (INSPIRED).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
