Terrie E. Inder, M.D.
Dr Inder is a dual boarded child neurologist and neonatologist, who directs clinical and translational research into the nature and timing of brain injury in the preterm and high risk term born infant. She is the director of the Washington University Neonatal Development Research (WUNDER) team and the Washington University Intellectual and Developmental and Disabilities Research Center (WUIDDRC). The WUNDER team conducts multidisciplinary research initiatives in pediatrics, neurology, radiology, obstetrics, and psychology centering back on studies at the bedside of newborn infantsin the neonatal and pediatric intensive care unit at St Louis Children's Hopital. The team focuses on efforts in the premature infant, the sick term infant, and the infant with cardiac diseases. This research utilizes state of the art technologies in magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and electroenecephalography (EEG) as tools to assist in understanding the timing and nature of brain injury in the newborn infant. The WUIDDRC consists of 4 research cores in imaging, neuropsychology and genetics, animal models, biostatistics and bioinformatics to accelerate research findings in infants and children both at risk and with developmental disabilities. The center is funded by the National Institute of Health and supports over 50 investigators in addition to a central role in advocacy and support for children with developmental disabilities. Finally, Dr Inder holds a Doris Duke Distinguished Clinical Scientist Award to assist her passion in the mentoring of young clinical scientists. |
