Research Interest

Research Intrest in Pediatric Infectious Diseases specialist with an interest in neonatal infections. My research agenda is to improve early diagnosis of neonatal sepsis. Through several projects, I am studying aspects of sepsis diagnostics including use of novel bioinformatics software, biomarkers, and non-culture rapid methods of pathogen detection. With a growing premature infant population requiring prolonged hospitalization and subsequent frequent medical attention throughout life, judicious antibiotic treatment is critical. New methods in combination with better understanding of neonatal sepsis and immune pathophysiology will lead to notable changes in our management of infections in infants.
