OverviewAI-generated summary

Cécile Asher's research focuses on neonatal outcomes and substance abuse treatment. Her work includes investigating the association between medication for opioid use disorder during pregnancy and neonatal outcomes. She has also conducted a randomized clinical trial examining accelerated weaning of opioids to reduce pharmacologic exposure for neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome. Asher's publications also address rare genetic conditions, including a case study on ankyloblepharon-ectodermal defects-cleft lip/palate syndrome in monozygotic twins. She has a publication count of 10 with 44 citations and an h-index of 4. Asher collaborates with several researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Elizabeth A. Sellars, Megan S. Evans, Jennifer Good, and Richard Hall.
