Grants
USE OF ACUTE KIDNEY INJURY BIOMARKERS TO PREDICT IMPAIRED MILRINONE PHARMACOKINETICS IN CHILDREN (2013)
Use of cAMP for evaluation of milrinone efficacy in children after cardiac surgery (2015)

Research Interests for Patients
My research interests are primarily focused on investigating kidney injury in children after heart surgery. I am currently investigating use of kidney injury biomarkers to predict drug clearance after heart surgery. The specific drug I am currently studying is milrinone, which has been shown to improve heart function after heart surgery, but may accumulate when kidney injury is present
