Siamala Sinnadurai

Dr. Siamala Sinnadurai is a Visiting Assistant Professor at the Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University Rotterdam, affiliated with the Department of Econometrics. Despite the management school affiliation, her research is highly specialized in biomedical sciences, particularly in DNA repair mechanisms and pediatric neurodevelopmental disorders.

Her research interests focus on DNA damage response, DNA repair, pediatrics, neurodevelopmental disorders, and genetics. These areas are central to understanding the molecular basis of acute-onset neuropsychiatric syndromes in children, particularly those with underlying genetic vulnerabilities. Her work bridges molecular biology and clinical pediatrics, emphasizing genomic stability in neurodevelopment.

The most recent publication trends highlight a strong emphasis on identifying ultrarare genetic variants in DNA repair genes associated with sudden behavioral regression in children. This research falls at the intersection of genetics, neuroscience, and pediatric psychiatry, suggesting a translational approach to diagnosing and understanding neurodevelopmental crises.

Scientific Contributions:

• Co-authored significant research on DNA repair gene variants in pediatric neuropsychiatric conditions (2024, Developmental Neuroscience)

Dr. Sinnadurai has contributed to impactful collaborative research, particularly in interdisciplinary teams combining genomics, neuroscience, and clinical pediatrics. While no formal advising or grant information is available, her participation in high-impact publications indicates active engagement in cutting-edge biomedical research. There is no public mention of labs or research teams she leads, though she collaborates internationally, as seen in her co-authorship network.
