In my early years as a Consultant  my main research interest was Otitis Media with Effusion(OME) and I was awarded an MCh in 2004 for my research in UCD entitled "The Effects of prolonged Otitis Media with effusion on the Tympanic Membrane: An Experimental Study in the Rat.

In 2009 I started studying Sub-Glottic stenosis and have continued this research to the present day. The key research projects so far have been,

(1) Optimising the use of Mitomycin C in Subglottic Stenosis 2013

This research was a 3 year project for a PhD student under my co-supervision and was funded by the National Children's Research Centre(NCRC) and it was awarded in 2013.

(2)MicroRNAs as Novel Theraputic Targets for the Treatment of Subglottic Stenosis,2016. This was an MSc thesis for which I was co-supervisor. It was awarded in 2016.

(3) Investigation into the prevention of fibrotic scar formation as treatment for Subglottic Stenosis. 2019-2024

This is a Post Doctoral project for which I am a co- Principal investigator. The funding  agency  is the National Children's Research Centre (NCRC)

This has produced 2 important peer review publications.
