Summary

  • Trained in all aspects of pediatric surgery, my research and clinical practice has largely focused on pediatric oncology. My basic science research lab is looking at novel therapies for the aggressive children's cancer neuroblastoma. In addition to surgical oncology, I have a strong interest and practice in congenital anomalies, chest wall defects and in ECMO for infants and children with respiratory failure.
