Ohio State is in the process of revising websites and program materials to accurately reflect compliance with the law. While this work occurs, language referencing protected class status or other activities prohibited by Ohio Senate Bill 1 may still appear in some places. However, all programs and activities are being administered in compliance with federal and state law.

The Kelly Laboratory is focused on improving the care of children born with congenital heart disease, with a particular interest in single ventricle heart disease. Patients with single ventricle heart typically require three open heart surgeries before 4 years of age, in what is termed Fontan palliation.  While Fontan palliation is lifesaving, we now appreciate patients cannot expect a normal quality and duration of life. Dr. Kelly is a pediatric cardiologist and principal investigator in the Center for Regenerative Medicine and conducts research along the translational continuum. Current projects focus on the development of a chronic large animal model of Fontan palliation to evaluate curative solutions for single ventricle heart disease and to study the end-organ complications induced by Fontan hemodynamics. Additionally, Dr Kelly is the co-director of the Pediatric Fontan clinic concentrated on standardizing and advancing the management of patients living with Fontan physiology.
