Personal profile
Research interests
My research focuses on novel mechanisms of lung injury associated with mechanical ventilation and critical care as well as developing strategies for personalized respiratory support and lung protection during critical illness. We have an expertise in using large animal models for developing translational research in critical illness as well as the application and development of advanced cardio-respiratory research tools such Electrical Impedance Tomography
Clinical interests
My clinical interests are caring for children with critical illness especially respiratory compromise, ARDS, Asthma and sepsis
Education activities and interests
I am the lead for respiratory section of pediatric critical care curriculum at WashU and with my colleagues have developed a combination of didactics, simulation, and laboratory-based education models for respiratory critical care.
