Professor Dr. Kelly Crossley

Biography

Kelly Crossley is a perinatal physiologist specializing in improving fetal-neonatal transition in infants requiring assistance at birth. Her research is particularly focused on understanding how respiratory and cardiovascular systems interact in ways that may cause brain injury. With 19 years of experience, Dr. Crossley employs a multi-pronged approach that includes investigating newborn physiology and using advanced biomedical imaging. She collaborates with physicists and clinicians at Australian and Japanese synchrotrons, applying sophisticated pre-clinical models involving rabbits and sheep. Dr. Crossley aims to identify interventions that improve spontaneous breathing in premature newborns, with her current clinical trial exploring the effects of oxygenation and resuscitation techniques. She is also involved in various research projects addressing the respiratory and cardiovascular outcomes of newborns suffering from congenital diaphragmatic hernia.
