Dr. Faustino's research focuses on preventing venous thrombosis and its complications in critically ill children, particularly catheter-related thrombosis. His PEITHO Program conducts multicenter observational studies and randomized clinical trials examining anticoagulation efficacy, platelet biology, and age-specific interventions. Key investigations include enoxaparin thromboprophylaxis in infants, platelet function in congenital heart disease, and thrombosis prevention strategies for surgical patients.

His recent publications (2023-2025) predominantly address pediatric thrombosis mechanisms, critical care interventions, and COVID-19 recovery. Research themes include VTE risk modeling, sepsis phenotyping, antiplatelet therapy responses, ECMO complications, and ethical frameworks for pediatric research. Methodologies span clinical trials, biomarker validation, and multi-center epidemiological analyses.
