Amit Mathur, M.D., M.R.C.P. (UK)

Associate Professor of Pediatrics

Patient Oriented Research
Newborn Medicine
 

 
My area of research interest covers the study of brain injury and neuroprotection in the neonate. Using a combination of clinical examination, bedside electrophysiological monitors and MR imaging techniques, such as spectroscopy, diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and surface based morphometry (SBM), I am studying the long term neurodevelopmental impact of aggressive EEG seizure treatment in the neonate. In the premature infant, I am studying the impact of early versus late intervention in post-hemorrhagic ventricular dilatation (PHVD) on MR imaging, EEG, CSF biomarkers and neurodevelopmental measures
 
 
Appointment
 
Associate Professor of Pediatrics, WUSM
Medical Director, Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, St. Louis Children's Hospital
 
Affiliations   
                                   
St. Louis Children’s Hospital; Barnes-Jewish Hospital; Progress West Hospital; Missouri Baptist Hospital
