We are delighted that this month we welcome our new Director of CACH - Dr Ela Chakkarapani.

Ela is an Associate Professor in Neonatal Neuroscience and a Consultant Neonatologist working in St Michael's hospital Neonatal Intensive  Care Unit. Ela's research interests include  developing treatments for babies with acute illnesses in the NICU and understanding the wider long-term effects of the illness and treatments for the children and their families. He has used both qualitative and quantitative research methods and is passionate about securing better outcomes for children and families. 
With this background he is ideally well placed to join with the researchers in CACH and help us build new and exciting research streams, support up-and-coming researchers who are researching in many areas of child health and make an impact on child health in the future. 
And he makes great cakes!  So welcome Ela, to CACH.
