Our clinical research is focused on 1) characteristics of growth and
development in cleft lip and palate, hemifacial microsomia and craniosynostosis
syndromes, 2) delineation of factors contributing to abnormal development, 3)
effects of the neuromuscular system on bone morphology and growth patterns under
normal and perturbed conditions, 4) stability of craniofacial skeletal components
after major reconstructive procedures, and 5) treatment outcomes following various
types of management procedures in a team environment.
