Biography

Dr. Ranger's translational research program integrates preclinical investigations and clinical studies in preterm neonates undergoing neonatal intensive care to uncover mechanisms of vulnerability to early adversity such as stress, pain, and treatments affecting brain development. She investigates and tests methods to mitigate adverse effects of undesirable events, using EEG technologies. As an investigator at BC Children's Hospital Research Institute, she collaborates with multidisciplinary clinicians and researchers. Her current research focuses on how early-life adversity, including stress and clinical treatments, impacts the developing brain of preterm infants, utilizing animal models that closely simulate aspects of preterm experience in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). This research informs clinical studies aimed at developing novel treatments to mitigate adverse effects of such exposures. Dr. Ranger's extensive clinical background includes being a pediatric clinical nurse specialist in acute pain, and her educational training encompasses a PhD in Nursing, postdoctoral fellowship, and a background in pediatric neuroscience.
