He has 196 peer-reviewed publications, one book published, and 18 chapters. His group has been successful in several scholarly areas, including:
- Established quantitative standards for developmental myelin deposition in human fetal, neonatal, and early childhood periods.
- Identified delayed myelination risk factors.
- Established the histologic characteristics and risk factors for the common abnormalities in the human fetal brain.
- Established the normative patterns of human forebrain microvasculature development.
- Developed a quantitative histologic technique to predict survival in children with brain tumors, which has now been computerized for the front-line pathologist (we hold the copyright).
- Demonstrated that the standard World Health Organization (WHO) Classification and grading schemes were not reliable predictors of survival for children with brain tumors.
- Participated in the development of a modification of the WHO Classification for Childhood Brain Tumors.
- Participated in 25 studies clarifying several distinctive neuroradiologic-neuropathologic relationships.
