Dr. Amin’s research focuses on improving outcomes for children using long-term ventilation at home and their families. Her team is developing and evaluating interventions aimed at supporting patients and families transitioning home with new medical technologies to decrease caregiver burden, reduce preventable healthcare utilization and associated costs and promote patient safety. An emerging research aim is the evaluation of novel therapeutics aimed at treating the underlying biology of neuromuscular disease.

Her research program will characterize the ‘new natural history’ of these patients, as well as their clinical outcomes from the respiratory perspective.
