Profile

• Profile

  Board Certified Pediatrician, Board Certified Cardiologist, Pharmacist

  
  

  He has established a patient registry for childhood-onset inherited arrhythmias and conducted electrophysiological studies using patient-specific iPS cell-derived cardiomyocytes to investigate the mechanisms underlying arrhythmia development.

  
  

  Currently, his research focuses on sudden unexpected death in infancy and childhood (SUDI/SUDC). He is pursuing multiple approaches to prevention, including the development of a non-contact vital monitoring system for infants and the identification of modifiable risk factors through nationwide, population-based registries of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest and child death reviews. In addition, he is employing qualitative research methods to explore the social support needs of bereaved families.
