    Dr. Ostrem has expertise in Maternal-Fetal and Neonatal Neurology and treats babies, children, young adults, and pregnant patients with neurological symptoms and disorders. She completed her M.D. and Ph.D. at UCSF followed by residency in Pediatric Neurology in the Mass General Brigham (Partners Neurology) Program in Boston, Massachusetts, and clinical fellowship in Women's Neurology at Brigham and Women's Hospital. She also completed a postdoctoral fellowship in the laboratory of Dr. Paola Arlotta at Harvard. Dr. Ostrem's research focuses on developing novel strategies for neuroprotection and repair in the fetal and neonatal brain, and understanding how maternal factors impact brain development.

    Altmetrics Details PMC Citations indicate the number of times the publication was cited by articles in PubMed Central, and the Altmetric score represents citations in news articles and social media. (Note that publications are often cited in additional ways that are not shown here.) Fields are based on how the National Library of Medicine (NLM) classifies the publication's journal and might not represent the specific topic of the publication. Translation tags are based on the publication type and the MeSH terms NLM assigns to the publication. Some publications (especially newer ones and publications not in PubMed) might not yet be assigned Field or Translation tags.) Click a Field or Translation tag to filter the publications.
