Biography

Ian Paul, MD, MSc, graduated from Penn State College of Medicine and completed his residency training at Duke University Medical Center in Durham, N.C. In addition to his responsibilities as a general pediatrician at Penn State Pediatrics and in the newborn nursery, Dr. Paul spends much of his time working on a variety of research projects and clinical trials that seek to improve health care for children and their families. His current research includes studies to prevent obesity and help breastfeeding newborns.
