Patrick S. McQuillen, MD
Dr. McQuillen received his medical degree from the University of California, San Diego. He completed pediatric residency at UCSF, followed by critical care fellowship in the joint UCSF-Children's Oakland program. His fellowship was performed in conjunction with the Pediatric Scientist Development Program. Dr. McQuillen’s lab studies visual cortical development and plasticity, with a translational focus on the effect of early hypoxic-ischemic brain injury on structural plasticity during the critical period. The lab has focused on the role of a transient population of cortical neurons, subplate neurons, important for normal visual system development. Dr. McQuillen’s clinical research interests are in the determination of timing and mechanism of hypoxic ischemic brain injury in neonates with congenital heart disease
