Professor of Clinical Pediatrics, Keck School of Medicine of USC

Dr. Noori is an attending neonatologist at CHLA and a professor of pediatrics at Keck School of Medicine, University of Southern California. His primary research interests are developmental cardiovascular physiology and pathophysiology, patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) and cerebral hemodynamics. He has been using various technology such as echocardiography, ultrasonography, vascular and laser Doppler, near-infrared and visible light spectroscopy for both clinical care and to study the transitional circulation, PDA, cardiovascular physiology and pathophysiology in preterm and term infants and has published extensively on the subjects.
