		Honors
Memberships Royal College of Physicians, Edinburgh, UK Society for Pediatric Research Honors 1996 The Amy Anderson prize in neonatology (fellowship) Areas of Clinical Interest/Research My area of research interest covers the study of brain injury and neuroprotection in the neonate. Using a combination of clinical examination, bedside electrophysiological monitors and MR imaging techniques, such as spectroscopy, diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and surface based morphometry (SBM), I am studying the long term neurodevelopmental impact of aggressive EEG seizure treatment in the neonate. In the premature infant, I am studying the impact of early versus late intervention in post-hemorrhagic ventricular dilatation (PHVD) on MR imaging, EEG, CSF biomarkers and neurodevelopmental measures
