Assistant Professor Neonatology , University of Mississippi Medical Center
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.
