Dr. Maltese's R&D efforts contributed to revisions to the regulations that governed airbags (FMVSS 208), as well as child restraints (FMVSS 213) and side impact injury countermeasures (FMVSS 214). In 2005 he continued his focus on pediatric injury prevention by joining the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and the University of Pennsylvania. His research is widely publishes, and has served on the Board of Directors of the Association for the Advancement of Automotive Medicine and as an editor of the journal Traffic Injury Prevention. He is presently a co-founder of a startup medtech company, and he teaches at the University of Pennsylvania (Bioengineering) part-time.
