Last April 30, 2025, our PhD student, Shayan Khodabakhsh, presented preliminary data of his ancillary study titled “Cardiopulmonary Responses to Incremental Exercise Testing in Young Adults with a History of Preterm Birth are Similar to Normal Gestational Age Peers: a Preliminary Analysis” at the URI’s International Graduate Student Showcase.

Shayan’s study is part of a larger, NIH-funded R01, project called RHODE Study (https://www.rhodestudy.com), which is a collaboration between our lab and that of Dr. D’Agata (PI, ass/prof of Nursing, URI).

Stay tuned for updates on Shayan study soon!
