Description of Clinical Expertise
Sleep disorders in children, pulmonary conditions in childrenDescription of Research Expertise
Clinical and translational research related to the evaluation, mechanisms, management, and effects of obstructive sleep apnea in children, with a specific focus on:1) infant populations
2) children with craniofacial differences and other high-risk conditions
3) the use of MRI and other imaging modalities to understand structural contributors to OSA in children
4) Novel diagnostic modalities for sleep testing
