He is a graduate from the University of Athens in Greece. He completed his fellowship in Neonatal-Perinatal medicine at St. Christopher's Hospital for Children, Philadelphia (Drexel University College of Medicine) in 2014. His research involved the effect of Src Kinase as a modulator of Hypoxia-Ischemia in a neonatal swine model. He joined UTSW in 2019. His current research interests include (a) understanding the pathophysiology of brain after hypoxia-ischemia related to nitric oxide, (b) effects of acetaminophen in the neonatal brain, (c) prevention of intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) in extremely preterm newborns (d) vein of Galen arteriovenous malformation, management of early heart failure and (e) zinc and neonatal brain.
