Research Interest/Projects:
The aim of my current research is to determine if stress, induced
by cardiopulmonary bypass, pain, or other mechanisms, during the neonatal period
causes long term changes in the brain and to determine the mechanism of these
changes.
The long-term aim would be to develop therapeutic measures to minimize
stress in the neonatal period thus minimizing psychiatric and behavioral
morbidity in older children and adults.
