Tobias Strunk is a clinical professor and academic neonatologist with a special interest in susceptibility to neonatal infection and inflammation. He is actively involved in collaborative teams studying the impact of preterm birth on long-term health outcomes. His research focuses on identifying readily translatable prophylactic and therapeutic interventions to improve outcomes for infants affected by newborn infections. One of his key contributions has been the implementation of the Newborn Sepsis Calculator tool at King Edward Memorial Hospital, which significantly reduced unwarranted admissions and antibiotic use, leading to substantial health care cost savings of approximately $1 million per year. Dr. Strunk has led multiple clinical trials aimed at preventing infections and enhancing infant outcomes. He has co-authored several influential publications examining cytokine responses in preterm infants and their implications for predicting sepsis. His work has greatly contributed to the understanding of pharmacokinetics in preterm infants and the lasting risks associated with gestational age and birth weight.
