I’m a pediatric surgeon by training and the PI of the lab. My clinical specialty is pediatric general and thoracic surgery. I'm particularly interested in congenital disorders, including diaphragmatic hernias, lung lesions, esophageal atresia, gastroschisis and omphalocele. I also specialize in fetal surgery, minimally invasive surgery and the management of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO).

Since joining Cincinnati Children’s, I have been working on translational fetal cell and gene therapies, as many genetic diseases, like lysosomal storage diseases or osteogenesis imperfecta, have pathology that affects children before they are born.
