Research interests

Our research group focuses on neonatal pain and sedation in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) and its effect on long term neurodevelopmental outcomes. Our aim is to develop valid and reliable objective pain assessment tools for the neonatal population. In addition, we are searching for new pain management strategies and drugs, providing adequate pain relief with minimal neurotoxicity.
