Agnes I. Bartha, M.D.

Agnes Bartha is a clinical research fellow in the Neonatal Brain Disorders Center at UCSF. Her research focuses on how advanced MR imaging techniques can assess brain injury in term newborns around birth (BAMRI study) and in fetuses before they are born (Fetal MRI study). She has been instrumental setting up an international study that will assess how to better diagnose and treat neonatal seizures, the most common clinical sign for neurologically compromised neonates.

She received her medical degree and residency training in pathology from Semmelweis University Medical School in Budapest, Hungary, and postgraduate training in clinical research at UCSF. Families enrolled in the BAMRI and Fetal studies meet Agnes at the time of enrollment and at follow-up visits, and may discuss the study with her.
