Anita Saporta, MD is currently a research fellow at the University of Miami Evelyn F. McKnight Brain Institute. She has experience in clinical and translational neuroscience research. Her previous research work includes brain neuroimaging from the neonatal period to adulthood and utilizing multiple imaging modalities to analyze brain function and structure (PET, MRI, DTI, MRS). She also has experience with large database management and development of clinical tools. Since her clinical training in child neurology in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, she developed an increased interest in the normal and pathological development of the brain, behavior and cognition. She pursued research training in neuroimaging in reference centers including the PET Center at Wayne State University (Detroit, MI) and the Neonatal Brain Disorders Lab at UCSF (San Francisco, CA). Her current research interests include the neuroimaging markers of epilepsy severity and of normal and pathological aging.
