Summary

  • I am a Board certified pediatric surgeon and NIH funded researcher. My Basic science research focuses on developmental defects of the intestine and its native regenerative response. My clinical area of expertise is in pediatric nutrition support, pediatric intestinal failure a pediatric nutrition. I am contracted to give non-branded educational talks in these areas by Abbott Nutrition. Funds from these talks go directly to my laboratory to support my basic science research. I am interested in collaborations in these areas and am also willing to provide consultation in developing hospital nutrition support teams.
