The focus of Jay Wilson's research is to increase lung capacity in children who are born with underdeveloped lungs due to conditions such as congenital diaphragmatic hernia. He pioneered the use of perfluorocarbon--an oxygen-dissolving liquid--to stretch the lungs of premature infants who had difficulty being weaned from ECMO. Recently, his focus has turned to elucidating the molecular process of fetal and neonatal lung growth, so that these processes might be harnessed to stimulate lung growth in children with congenital disorders.
