Dr. Esteban is studying how fetal lungs develop. Knowing that fetal breathing stretches the lungs and helps them to develop, he is testing whether administration of soluble factors released by stretch could help to accelerate lung development in babies born prematurely. Another research interest is prevention of lung injury in premature infants exposed to mechanical ventilation. His research is supported by the National Institute of Health. Dr. Esteban attended Universidad Autonoma de Barcelona and went on to complete his internship and residency at Metropolitan Hospital Center and Metropolitan Health Medical Center. He completed his fellowship at Women & Infants. View Physician Profile
