Thirty years ago, I was an intern caring for a premature infant with chronic lung injury. The morning test of his lung function was not good, and I was ordered to look for a bloodstream infection. When I asked why, I was told to go look it up. That's what prompted my first studies into lung disease in premature infants. It's been a long and circuitous route, with dead ends and false paths but even now, studying the role of RAGE in premature lungs, I can trace it back to that one baby, and see how all I do may affect the babies I take care of.
