Richard Polin is a Professor of Neurobiology (in Psychiatry) at Columbia University Medical Center. He earned his MD from Temple University in 1975, followed by pediatric residencies at Children's Memorial Hospital in Chicago and Babies' Hospital in New York, and a neonatology fellowship at Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center. His research focuses on neonatal early-onset sepsis, including the role of physical examination and blood cultures in diagnosis, the neonatal SOFA score in very preterm infants, and core outcome measures after neonatal sepsis. He has also published extensively on preterm nutrition and intensive care for infants under 24 weeks of gestation. His recent work appears in *JAMA Network Open*, *Pediatric Research*, and *The Journal of Pediatrics*. He received the National Neonatal Education Award from the AAP's Section on Perinatal Pediatrics (2006) and the Physician of the Year Award from Columbia University Medical Center (2005).
