Research summary

This publication record appears to blend two distinct research areas: pediatric cardiac devices and surgery (mechanical circulatory support, mitral valve replacement in children, ECMO, and clinical trials on heart surgery outcomes) and basic molecular biology of actin-regulating proteins in cells. The clinical work focuses on improving devices and treatments for children with congenital heart disease, including artificial heart valves and pumps, while the molecular work examines how a protein called capping protein controls the assembly of actin, a structural component of cells. Because these topics are quite different, this record may combine work from more than one researcher sharing the same name.

Publication output has gradually declined over the last decade, from around 10-12 papers per year in 2017-2018 to roughly 5-6 per year in recent years.
