She also works closely with the Mount Sinai Kravis Children's Heart Center team and is a part of the Cardiac Neurodevelopmental Program. Her focus on improving neurodevelopmental outcomes in preterm infants starts in the NICU with attention to family-centered care practices and facilitation of parent-child bonding from an early age. Through long-term follow-up, she aims to partner with families and the multidisciplinary developmental care team to provide complete diagnostic information for individually-tailored care plans as needed through early childhood. In addiiton, she has an interest in Whole Genome Sequencing and is affiliated with the Mindich Child Health and Development Institute (MCHDI).

Industry Relationships
Physicians and scientists on the faculty of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai often interact with pharmaceutical, device, biotechnology companies, and other outside entities to improve patient care, develop new therapies and achieve scientific breakthroughs. In order to promote an ethical and transparent environment for conducting research, providing clinical care and teaching, Mount Sinai requires that salaried faculty inform the School of their outside financial relationships.
