Michael (Mish) Shoykhet, MD, PhD, is a physician-scientist in Pediatric Critical Care and Neuroscience. His research centers on brain injury in critically ill children with a particular focus on pediatric cardiac arrest. Projects in Dr. Shoykhet’s laboratory include pre-clinical, clinical and big data studies. Pre-clinical studies investigate molecular mechanisms and functional consequences of injury to subcortical nuclei and white matter after cardiac arrest. Clinical studies encompass several topics related to critical care of brain-injured children. Big data projects use national databases to seek improvements in cardiac arrest and brain trauma care in children. Dr. Shoykhet’s laboratory welcomes and supports basic science and clinical trainees in a collaborative learning environment aimed at maximizing trainees’ success.
