Inaugural Dunn Family Endowed Professor of Cardiac Research at Children’s National Hospital (Washington, DC) and Professor of Pediatrics at the George Washington University School of Medicine & Health Sciences. Pediatric & Congenital Cardiologist at Children’s National Hospital.
Also affiliated with the University of Bordeaux, France, as Professor of Pediatrics, where I continue to contribute to international collaborative research programs.
I lead international clinical research initiatives to advance prevention, rehabilitation, and quality of life in children, adolescents, and young adults living with chronic chronic diseases. I coordinate QUALIREHAB, an innovative hybrid (center- and home-based) cardiac rehabilitation and preventive cardiology program addressing physical deconditioning across pediatric chronic conditions—including congenital heart disease, lung disease, chronic kidney disease, and childhood cancer survivorship.
Previously Division Head of Pediatrics at Montpellier University Hospital (France), I established and directed pediatric clinical and research infrastructures and led numerous multicenter studies supported by national and European agencies.
Serving on international scientific boards and advisory committees, I am dedicated to advancing collaborative research and implementing innovative, patient-centered healthcare solutions worldwide.
