Mallory A. Perry, PhD, RN, CCRN is a pediatric critical care nurse, NIH/NIGMS MOSAIC Fellow and Postdoctoral Fellow at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) Research Institute. Her program of research aims to explore the potential role of inflammation with outcomes in critically children who survive the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU). Particularly, critically ill children who survive sepsis are at increased risk of physical and cognitive morbidity post-PICU discharge. To explore this potential association, Dr. Perry is currently funded by the American Association of Critical Care Nurses and the NIH National Institute for General Medical Sciences for her K99/R00 MOSAIC application, entitled Pediatric Recovery After Sepsis Treatment in the PICU (PERSIST-PICU). Findings from this research will aid in the development of a multivariable model, which aims to provide early identification of physical morbidity risk in children who survive critical illness, both with and without sepsis. Early identification is vital and will prompt early intervention to promote and optimize survivor’s overall recovery.
Prior to her postdoctoral fellowship at CHOP, Dr. Perry was a Predoctoral Fellow at the University of Connecticut School of Nursing where she graduated with her PhD in 2019. Her previous research focused on omics-based approaches to explore post-surgical pain outcomes in children undergoing spinal fusion surgery and the biobehavioral underpinnings associated with persistent pain states. Through quantitative sensory testing, psychosocial analysis, and differential gene expression, Dr. Perry identified unique biopsychosocial pain profiles in children and adolescents recovering after spinal fusion surgery. As a Predoctoral Fellow, Dr. Perry was selected as an NIH Intramural trainee and attended the highly competitive NIH National Institute of Nursing Research Summer Genetics Institute. To date, she has completed additional training in clinical research and immunology at the University of Pennsylvania and the NIH respectively.
