RESEARCH INTERESTS
Research interests have primarily focused on outcomes-based research related to neonatal pulmonary diseases. In that regard studies have involved outcomes related to meconium aspiration syndrome, HMD, BPD and ARDS in the preterm and near-term/term infant, including studies involving therapeutic interventions such as HFOV, ECMO and iNO. Current studies are primarily directed at the evaluation of secondary lung injury in the premature infant and the effects of a variety of interventional approaches aimed at enhancing postnatal lung development in these infants, and the effects of antenatal processes such as infection on the lung. Additional interests include the interaction of cardio-respiratory function and therapies on neurological development and injury.
