OverviewAI-generated summary
Sarah B. Mulkey's research focuses on neurological disorders in infants and children, particularly those stemming from prenatal exposures and birth complications. She has investigated neurodevelopmental abnormalities in children exposed to the Zika virus in utero, including cases without congenital Zika syndrome. Her work also examines the impact of autonomic nervous system development on neuropsychiatric outcomes and the identification of plasma biomarkers for brain injury in neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy.
Mulkey has been involved in clinical trials, including a Phase II trial for high-dose erythropoietin and hypothermia for hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy. Her research extends to neonatal epilepsy, including studies on carbamazepine response and the clinical features of KCNQ2 gain-of-function variants. She also contributes to guidance on the diagnosis and management of infants with possible congenital Zika virus infection. Her scholarship metrics include an h-index of 30, with 140 total publications and over 3,100 citations, designating her as a highly cited researcher. She leads a research group and maintains an active lab website.
