Dr Ela Chakkarapani
Trustee
Dr Ela Chakkarapani is a consultant neonatologist at St Michael’s Hospital, Bristol, and a senior lecturer in neonatal neuroscience at the University of Bristol.
He has been undertaking research in the field of Hypoxic-Ischaemic Encephalopathy (HIE) since 2006. He has been involved in developing interventions to reduce brain injury following HIE, understanding brain development following cooling for HIE, and developing interventions that will improve parent-infant bonding in families with babies who were cooled for HIE.
He looks after families and children who had HIE in his clinic and is looking forward to contributing to the Peeps’ community as a Trustee.
