Research Summary
My major research interest is the development of computer based algorithms to define interaction between intracardiac devices and the adjacent cardiovascular structures. I am involved in development of a new CT blood pool contrast agent which will help in improving cardiovascular imaging in children with congenital heart disease. I'm also involved in developing a model for gene therapy targeting the newborn pancreas using novel vascular access techniques.
