Dr. Fernando Gonzalez is a neonatologist at UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital. He specializes in the care of newborns with brain injury, premature infants and infants requiring extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) or an artificial lung. Gonzalez's research focuses on neonatal brain injury, neonatal stroke, hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, neurogenesis and stem cell plasticity.

He earned a medical degree at Brown University and completed an internship and residency in pediatrics at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center and a fellowship in neonatology at UCSF.
