Research Interests

I want to investigate NEC clinically as well as basic science level. I have published my work in area of blood transfusion associate NEC and studied the role of tight junction proteins in NEC Mouse Model

Current Projects

Currently I am looking at degree of inflammation at the intestinal resection margins in surgical NEC patients and survival outcomes.
