Thomas Diacovo, MD, Professor of Pediatrics and Pharmacology at the University of Pittsburgh, is the new Director of Neonatal Research and Director of Translational Neonatal Medicine at Magee-Womens Research Institute (MWRI).

Prior to that time, he served as Chief of UPMC Division of Newborn Medicine during which he instituted many new quality, safety and diversity initiatives leading to improved outcomes for premature babies, a rise in USNWR rankings from 48 to 15, and the hiring of underrepresentation racial / ethnic groups as faculty.
