    Research Overview

    Bacterial epidemiology among patients with primary ciliary dyskinesia; Respiratory ciliary dysfunction among children with heterotaxy syndrome; House office procedure competency; House officer wellness. My individualized pathway has been focused on clinical program development and medical education. I started one of the nation's first clinical programs for primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD). Our center runs a number of clinical studies supported by extramural funding and participates in the national patient registry. I am strongly involved in the PCD Foundation and served as chair of the 2021 international conference. I currently lead a national working group building a consensus statement on the management of heterotaxy syndrome, in anticipation of building a clinical program. I initiated a multi-disciplinary pediatric pulmonary hypertension program and participate in a single ventricle clinic
