Clinical interest for patients

While in medical school, I discovered that working with brain-injured children was a rewarding privilege. Children’s disabilities not only affected themselves but the entire family unit. The more I worked with these children, the more I felt that if we were able to prevent brain injury before birth, the personal, familial, and societal benefits would be substantial. I have been able to combine my research interests in pregnancy with my passion for caring for disabled children and their families.

Research interest for patients

My research focuses on child neurology, perinatal/neonatal hemorrhagic stroke and stroke in all ages.
