Rate My Professor David Tingay

Professor David Tingay is an Honorary Professorial Fellow in the Department of Paediatrics at the University of Melbourne within the Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Health Sciences. He is a clinical neonatologist and respiratory physiologist at the Melbourne Children’s Campus, where he leads the Neonatal Research Program at the Murdoch Children’s Research Institute. His work focuses on improving the respiratory outcomes of newborn infants through interconnected molecular and clinical science aimed at understanding lung injury and developing new neonatal critical care respiratory support strategies. Research interests include optimising lung volume state with end-expiratory pressure, supporting respiratory transition at birth using PEEP and dynamic tidal inflations, and developing methods to image the human lung at birth while mapping the evolution of preterm lung injury using proteomics.
