He also authored two impactful antibiotic stewardship protocols that have since been adopted by all NICUs throughout Northwell Health's Neonatology service line. A dedicated academician, Dr. Blau has published 25 articles in peer-reviewed journals. His commitment to academic medicine is further evidenced by his leadership as President of the New York Perinatal Society from 2019-2023.
