I am a Professor with Tenure of Pediatrics as well as Division Chief for Pediatric Critical Care Medicine and an Endowed Chair for Pediatric Critical Care Medicine at Children’s National Hospital and The George Washington University School of Medicine. For the vast majority of my academic career, I have had research interests that combined the understanding of caring for children with critical illnesses with a sharp focus on the care of children with neurological conditions. I'm currently funded to perform clinical studies and trials of children with critical illnesses and I'm the Director of the Clinical Translational Science Institute of Children's National located at CNH and GWU.
