    Collapse research overview
    Matt McLaughlin is a Pediatric Rehabilitation Medicine physician and Clinical Pharmacologist. His primary research centers on optimizing “the right medication for the right patient at the right time to improve outcomes.” He completed the MD/BA 6-year program at the University of Missouri-Kansas City prior to starting his fellowship at the University of Missouri-Columbia. After graduation from residency, he pursued a clinical Pediatric Rehabilitation Medicine fellowship at Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City. During this time, he obtained his Masters in Medical Bioinformatics to help with clinical research design and database management. Upon graduation, he was named a Vice Chancellors Honors Recipient for obtaining a 4.0 GPA while also positively contributing to the Kansas City community. He received advance training in Clinical Pharmacology by participating in an NICHD T32 Fellowship in Pediatric Clinical and Developmental Pharmacology prior to starting his K12 funding. He has been funded since that time by an NIH/NICHD R03 Award.

    Dr. McLaughlin’s primary research work has centered around precision medicine in pediatric patients with cerebral palsy (CP). Clinically, he remains passionate about how to employ the pharmacogenetics associated with alterations in medication absorption, distribution, elimination and metabolism with improving clinical outcomes. He employs aspects of pharmacokinetic modeling, pharmacogenomics and clinical trial design in his studies. His work has already earned him several notable awards during his career.

    He is currently a Professor in the Department of Pediatrics at Children’s Mercy – Kansas City where he serves as the Division Director of Rehabilitation Medicine. Recognizing the need for leadership and fiscal responsibility in research, he completed a dual degree program from University of Texas at Dallas in 2024 (Master of Business Administration/Master in Healthcare Leadership and Management).
