I conduct research in the Newborn Intensive Care Unit on the impact on the brain for babies born with birth defects such as heart, lung or bowel problems. I am interested to work out the best way for doctors, nurses and allied health staff to protect the growing brain from potential harm from essential medications that are used to prevent and treat pain and distress while receiving surgery and intensive care.
