of CPR. Recently, his focus
has been in pediatric CPR
and hypothermia following
cardiac arrest in children. He
also has an interest in clinical
bioethics in children, as well
as other critical care topics.
new methods of image
guidance for neurosurgery,
including the incorporation
of functional MRI as well as
intraoperative MRI.
examines the neural and
cognitive mechanisms of
attention, executive function
and emotion. He also studies
psychological disorders
that involve dysregulation
of these processes, such as
autism and attention deficit
hyperactivity disorder. He
works to determine the brain
mechanisms underlying
behavioral disorders so that
future treatments can target
those specific brain areas.
neonatal nutrition and critical
inflammatory disorders of
newborns. His nutritional and
anti-inflammatory studies aim
to provide better outcomes
for infants in the neonatal
intensive care unit.
is in the mechanisms that
coordinate the innate immune
response. Her ultimate goal is
to gain a better understanding
of the molecular mechanisms
that regulate chemokine
and chemokine receptor
responses in healthy
individuals, and to identify
how these pathways are
dysregulated in sepsis,
HIV infection and chronic
lymphocytic leukemia.

hospital admissions. He also
studies air pollution and
cardiac deaths that occur
outside of the hospital.

his area of medicine to
create safer, more effective
