A neonatologist and epidemiologist, Dr. DeMauro's primary clinical and research focus is on studying methods to improve early childhood outcomes after critical neonatal illness. She is the lead follow-up investigator and alternate principal investigator for the CHOP/University of Pennsylvania center for the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) Neonatal Research Network, of which CHOP and Penn have been members  since 2011. Observational study and randomized trial follow-up rates at the center for 22 to 26 months corrected age consistently exceed 95 percent.

As program director for neonatal follow up at CHOP, Dr. DeMauro oversees follow-up activities, education, and program development in six neonatal follow-up clinics throughout the CHOP Newborn Care Network. More than 5,000 children are currently enrolled in the follow-up program.

Dr. DeMauro is independently funded by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute as PI for the clinical coordinating center of the HYdrocortisone for BPD Developmental and Respiratory (HYBRiD) Outcomes Study and the Transfusion of Prematures 5-year (TOP 5) Early School Age Study; by NICHD as a site PI for the Outcomes of Babies with Opioid Exposure (OBOE) Longitudinal Study; and by the Thrasher Research Fund. These grants all fund studies of functional clinical outcomes among young children who were born prematurely or have other risk factors for poor outcomes.
