Clinical Interests: Practicing evidence‐based medicine to optimize care for critically ill neonates with a focus on improving neurodevelopmental outcomes in high‐risk infants.

Scholarly Focus: Dr. Law’s research focus includes neuroprotection and neuro‐repair for neonates affected by complication of preterm birth and hypoxic ischemic brain injury at birth. She studies the use of human neural stem cells as a possible treatment option in a rodent model of hypoxia‐ischemia. She is part of the Neonatal Neuroscience Laboratory studying the potential use of neuroprotective agents to decrease neonatal brain injury in a ferret model of neonatal encephalopathy. She is also Director of the Brain Research Advancement in Neonatology (BRAIN) Team – a collaborative group of Neonatologists with a mission to improve neonatal neurodevelopment with research projects ranging from basic science and neuroimaging to public health.

Research Funding:

2019‐2022 Stem cells in addition to hypothermia for neuroprotection in perinatal hypoxic‐ischemic brain injury, Thrasher Grant Research Foundation. Role: PI, Total Award: $26,750

Administration/Education Roles: Dr. Law’s primary administrative role is as Director of the BRAIN Team which meets weekly to plan, organize, and complete projects related to the group’s focus on neonatal neuroprotection. She is a member of the Neonatology Fellowship Clinical Competency Committee which meets twice yearly to ensure fellows are supported and on track for success. She also serves as a Neonatology Fellow Wellness Mentor, giving an annual talk regarding the importance of mental health and self‐care in academia.
