Neurology
I am a pediatric neurologist with a focus on cerebrovascular diseases and acute brain injury. My research over the past decade has focused on how neuroimaging can inform prognostication after acute brain injury. I am also interested in the genetics of cerebrovascular disease. I have established the world's first clinic dedicated to individuals with COL4A1/2 variants who are at risk for ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke across the lifespan. Through my clinical care and research, I aim to further our understanding of pediatric stroke and acute brain injury to promote rapid, accurate diagnosis and optimal recovery.
