Overview of Dr. Dumitriu

I am a board certified General Pediatrician as well as a neuroscientist trained in a broad array of techniques to probe anatomical and functional neurocircuits in various animal models. In 2017 I was awarded an R01 from NIMH titled "Multiscale connectomic principles of resilience and susceptibility in mouse". I was the second person in the US to secure this award during residency. My long term goal is to understand the neural networks that underlie resilience in order to develop a basic science approach to disease prevention. Currently I am a newborn hospitalist at Columbia University and the Principal Investigator of the Developmental Origins of Resilience lab (@theDOORlab) at the New York State Psychiatric Institute. I am also the Chair and co-founder of the COVID-19 Mother Baby Outcomes (COMBO) initiative (www.ps.columbia.edu/COMBO).
