About
The uniting principle of Dr. Dumitriu’s multifaceted research program is to actuate a strengths-based pivot in pediatrics: preventing pathology by promoting resiliency. From basic science through clinical & implementation studies, her multi-modal, multi-species, multi-scale research focuses on understanding and harnessing the neurocircuits of resilience, toward spearheading novel approaches to universal primary prevention.
One of the top-funded researchers in the Department of Pediatrics, Dr. Dumitriu, also actively leads field-building work. She co-founded the Maternal Child Research Operations (MaCRO) Consortium at Columbia (a coordinating hub for research that spans obstetrics, pediatrics, and psychiatry) and is revolutionizing family- and pediatrician- inclusive research through a unique partnership between CERH, Reach Out and Read, and Nurture Connection (at Georgetown University’s Thrive Center for Children, Families, and Communities). Together, they co-lead the movement to meaningfully advance the field of ERH. Dr. Dumitriu further serves on the steering committee for Nurture Connection and on the Foundation for Social Connection’s Scientific Advisory Council.
