Dr. Kwon has three primary research interests. 1) Neonatal Seizures: She has been collaborating with Dr. Ronnie Guillet in an NICHD funded multicenter clinical trial to look at long-term phenobarbital use in neonatal seizures. 2) Batten Disease: Since 2004, she has been collaborating with several other University of Rochester clinicians to evaluate patients with Batten disease prospectively to refine the Unified Batten Disease Rating Scale (UBDRS) as a tool for use in upcoming clinical trials of Batten Disease. 3) Newborn Screening: Dr. Kwon is interested in improving the clinical care and neurologic outcomes of children identified by state newborn screening programs by advocating for rational public health polities for state programs and by developing innovative practices to follow neuro-cognitive development.
