I am a Paediatric Neurologist and Director of The Royal Children’s Hospital (RCH) Department of Neurology and the Childhood Stroke Program. I am an Associate Professor at the University of Melbourne and a Clinician Scientist Fellow at the Murdoch Children's Research Institute (MCRI), where I lead a multidisciplinary stroke research team.
My research focuses on three broad areas of interest: (i) childhood stroke, (ii) dietary therapies for epilepsy and (iii) infantile spasms. I have authored five book chapters and over 210 publications, (more than 80 in the past five years). My H-Index is 64, with over 68,000 citations on Google Scholar. I supervise two PhDs. My research funding over the past five years is over $4.2 million.
My PhD study focused on strategies to improve recognition, assessment and acute management of childhood stroke. I am the principal investigator on (i) the Australian Paediatric Acute Code Stroke study (MRFSF000001 2020), which aims to decrease the time to stroke diagnosis of childhood stroke and increase access to reperfusion therapies, and (ii) the NIMBUS study (NHMRC Ideas grant 2020902), which aims to develop innovative MRI and blood-based predictive tools to guide interventions following neonatal arterial ischaemic stroke.
I am a member of the International Pediatric Stroke Study Executive Committee and a founding Board Member of the International Pediatric Stroke Organisation.
