Development of the necrotizing enterocolitis society registry and biorepository

Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a devastating disease affecting premature infants. New advances in diagnostic and treatment options are desperately needed. Accordingly, the NEC Society initiated a research collaborative with a group of investigators dedicated to advancing the state of NEC-associated knowledge. Recent advances in high-content molecular interrogation and bio-computation (e.g. genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics) can provide new insights from afflicted infants with NEC, however, individual centers do not have sufficient cases to conduct these studies independently.
