Alison Baker Nair, MD is an Associate Clinical Professor at the University of California, San Francisco. Her translational research program focuses on platelet-endothelial interactions in the setting of pediatric critical illness and how these interactions are altered by transfusion and other cellular therapies. She received her undergraduate degree from Grinnell College and her MD from the University of Chicago's Pritzker School of Medicine. She completed residency in pediatrics and fellowship in pediatric critical care medicine at the University of California, San Francisco.

I am a pediatric neurologist with a focus on cerebrovascular diseases and acute brain injury. My research over the past decade has focused on how neuroimaging can inform prognostication after acute brain injury. I am also interested in the genetics of cerebrovascular disease. I have established the world's first clinic dedicated to individuals with COL4A1/2 variants who are at risk for ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke across the lifespan.

I study the pathobiology of critical illness, including organ dysfunction and infection, in children with cancer, immunodeficiencies, and those who have undergone hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
