Overview

Dr Samudragupta Bora is the Founding Director of the Center for Health Services Research at University Hospitals Health System, Associate Professor of Pediatrics at University Hospitals Rainbow Babies & Children's Hospital, USA, and Honorary Associate Professor at The University of Queensland. He previously served as Director of Early Childhood Neurodevelopmental Outcomes at University Hospitals Rainbow Babies & Children's Hospital and Group Leader of Neurodevelopmental Follow-Up and Outcomes at Mater Research Institute, The University of Queensland. He is the immediate past Chair of the Long-Term Outcomes of High-Risk Babies Subcommittee of the Perinatal Society of Australia and New Zealand.

His research focuses on improving the quality of life for high-risk infants, particularly those born preterm, and their families, along with a growing focus on congenital heart disease and global child health. Research studies span two core themes: 1) developing a better understanding of the long-term neurodevelopmental outcomes of high-risk infants, and 2) discovering the independent and interdependent roles of neurological and social factors underlying these outcomes. In addition to research, he is committed to mentoring the next generation of clinician-scientists and scientists. He has extensive experience promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion in academic medicine.
