Background

About Srikanth Damera

I am a physician-scientist and an incoming neonatology fellow at Children's National Hospital.Fetal and infant brain development establishes the foundation for lifelong brain function — making this period one of extraordinary potential and profound vulnerability. Subtle perturbations in prenatal physiology or early-life experience can alter developmental trajectories long before clinical symptoms emerge. My approach integrates advanced fetal and neonatal neuroimaging and longitudinal clinical assessment to understand typical and atypical brain development — with a focus on translating findings into early biomarkers and predictive tools for infants at high risk of neurodevelopmental disability.
