Marliese Nist
Dr. Marliese Nist's research focuses on improving the neurodevelopment of preterm infants with an emphasis on decreasing the negative effects of stress exposure in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Dr. Nist's work incorporates laboratory science with clinical research methods to understand the biological and physiological effects of stress on immature infants and to develop and test interventions to improve long-term outcomes.
After graduating with her undergraduate degree in biology, Dr. Nist worked for several years as a laboratory technician before shifting her career to nursing. Following a decade of clinical nursing caring for the smallest and most critically ill infants in the NICU, Dr. Nist returned to The Ohio State University, where she completed her coursework to become a registered nurse, to earn her Master's and Doctoral degrees and to conduct rigorous research to improve outcomes for all preterm infants.

Hyeryeong Lee, a first-year PhD student from South Korea, previously worked in a pediatric intensive care unit (PICU), caring for critically ill children.
The children and nurses in the PICU inspired her. “One particularly memorable moment was when a child who had been hospitalized in the PICU for a long time stopped by the PICU to say hello to us in good health after being discharged. The moment truly supported the impact of our work and brought me joy,” Lee said.
