About
Dr. Anne Synnes is a leading researcher in neonatal neurology and developmental pediatrics, whose work focuses on improving outcomes for preterm and high-risk infants. Her major contributions center on the intersection of pain management, brain development, and innovative therapeutic interventions in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Notably, her highly cited 2019 study on "Calmer," a robot designed to manage acute pain in preterm infants, demonstrates her commitment to translating technology into compassionate care—addressing the critical need for non-pharmacological pain relief when parents are unavailable. This work, with 26 citations, highlights her impact on clinical practice and neonatal neuroprotection. Dr. Synnes is also recognized for her research on neurodevelopmental outcomes following neonatal brain injury, using advanced neuroimaging to predict long-term cognitive and motor function. Her achievements include leadership roles in multicenter neonatal research networks and contributions to evidence-based guidelines for developmental care. Through her pioneering studies, Dr. Synnes has shaped how clinicians understand and mitigate the effects of early pain on the developing brain, making her a pivotal figure in neonatal research and a trusted voice for improving the lives of the most vulnerable patients.
