Adriana Hoffman, MD, UM Neonatology Fellow, was selected as a prestigious 2026 Pediatric Scientist Development Program (PSDP) Scholar. She is the first ever PSDP awardee from UM. PSDP provides a training environment in which talented young pediatricians address central problems in child health with the most current scientific tools. Ultimately, these pediatric scientists, dedicated to continuing careers in basic, translational, and clinical research, will translate research advances to improvements in clinical care for children. The PSDP also provides career-development support for pediatricians committed to careers in academic medicine. Congratulations, Adriana!
