Shared Ventilation: Toward Safer Ventilator Splitting in Resource Emergencies.

I am interested in translational and biomedical engineering approaches to studying cardiovascular function and end stage heart failure.  My current work is focused on using Tissue Engineered Blood Vessels (TEBVs) to model radiation related injury to the cardiovascular function.  Additional focus includes ex-vivo modification of donor hearts to improve cardiac transplantation outcomesMy clinical research is focused on clinical outcomes after adult cardiac surgery with a focu
