Research
research overview
- My primary clinical and research interests are in pediatric sleep apnea. I am currently interested in examining the complex interplay between disease severity and quality of life in children with sleep apnea. My recent research has also been focused on innovations in the evaluation of children with sleep apnea including research on biomarkers for pediatric OSA. I am actively working to identify ways to improve treatment outcomes in this population including studying novel surgical techniques.
