Marliese Nist
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). 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, 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, 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.
