Nicolino Valerio Dorrello

Dr. Nicolino Valerio Dorrello, Assistant Professor in the Division of Pediatric Critical Care Medicine at Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons, focuses on severe, progressive lung injury, one of the most common and devastating conditions he encounters in his clinical work. His research examines strategies to selectively remove defective lung epithelial cells and support the proliferation and differentiation of lung progenitors to restore healthy lung tissue.

In Paris, Dorrello will study current continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) practices at leading pediatric centers, including Bicêtre Hospital and Necker Hospital, with an eye toward developing shared protocols and educational initiatives. He will also engage with researchers at UMR 1272 Hypoxie & Poumon, a center studying lung injury and repair.
