Research Description

My research encompasses the continuum of care for patients with complex congenital heart disease with evidence of heart failure, beginning from the Stage 1 palliation through the Fontan. I am interested in identifying and intervening upon Fontan failure early, tailoring immunosuppression for patients with single ventricle congenital heart disease, and improving post-transplant outcomes.
