Summary

  • As a neonatologist working in Western New York’s most advanced neonatal intensive care unit (NICU)--at the John R. Oishei Children’s Hospital--I care for critically ill preterm and term newborn infants. My expertise includes caring for extremely premature infants and the associated comorbidities that often come with premature birth as well as hypoxic respiratory failure, hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy and pulmonary hypertension.

    My research focuses on comparing the use of vasopressin and epinephrine during neonatal resuscitation in a translational ovine model. My goal is to understand the physiology of pulmonary transition at birth in asphyxia and to compare the effectiveness of epinephrine and vasopressin during resuscitation. The results of this study will have a pronounced clinical impact by improving resuscitation guidelines that hasten recovery and reduce death and neurological disability following birth asphyxia.

    I also conduct clinical research, in our mother-baby unit, on the use of oral dextrose gel in the treatment of neonatal hypoglycemia. The results thus far have shown reduction in NICU admissions for neonatal hypoglycemia, which prevents separating mothers from their babies.

    Interested fellows and residents are welcome to work in our sheep lab and conduct basic science research with me. They are also welcome to participate in my clinical studies and quality improvement projects.

    I teach medical students, pediatrics residents and neonatal-perinatal medicine fellows. When on service, I teach the residents and fellows during daily morning bedside rounds. Most of my teaching is interactive; I believe in engaging my students and trainees as much as possible in critical thinking and active discussion so that they can absorb and retain knowledge.
