Jeanette Ramer

Jeanette Ramer is a Professor in the Department of Pediatrics and serves as Chief of the Division of Rehabilitation and Development. Her academic career spans several decades with significant contributions to pediatric medicine, particularly in the areas of developmental disorders and genetic syndromes.

Dr. Ramer's research focuses on several key areas in pediatric medicine and genetics. Her primary interests include:

• Genetic syndromes and their clinical manifestations
• Congenital malformations and dysmorphology
• Autism spectrum disorders and biochemical markers
• Neurodevelopmental outcomes following medical interventions
• Growth and mental retardation syndromes

Analysis of Dr. Ramer's publication history reveals a strong focus on rare genetic conditions, particularly those involving craniofacial abnormalities and neurodevelopmental issues. Her work often bridges clinical observation with genetic research, seeking to identify patterns and potential biochemical markers that could aid in diagnosis and treatment. A notable trend in her research is the investigation of specific syndromes like Baraitser-Winter cerebrofrontofacial syndrome, as well as exploring metabolic factors in conditions like autism.

Dr. Ramer has secured significant research funding throughout her career, demonstrating the importance and impact of her work in the medical community.

Dr. Ramer has been principal investigator on multiple NIH-funded research projects, including studies on medication adherence using digital technology, copper/zinc imbalances in children with autism, iron supplementation in ADHD, and participation in a General Clinical Research Center. These grants highlight her leadership in clinical research and her commitment to improving outcomes for children with developmental and neurological conditions.
