Clinical Interests:
Neonatal intensive care, neuro-developmental follow-up of high risk infants

Research Interests:
My research interests continue to be in the area of neurodevelopmental follow-up of high-risk infants.  My research is involved with studying the long-term outcome of extremely low birth weight premature infants and full term infants treated with various types of technology for respiratory failure (extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), and high frequency ventilation).  I am interested in studying clinical predictors of outcome as well as factors that affect susceptibility to brain and neurologic recovery after injury has occurred. More recently, I have begun to plan a new area of research utilizing different forms of cerebral monitoring (amplitude integrated EEG and cerebral oximetry) in sick newborn infants.
