Dr. Jamie Robinson is an Assistant Professor of Pediatric Surgery at Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt. She joined the surgical faculty in 2022, following the completion of her pediatric surgery fellowship at Boston Children’s Hospital in Boston, MA. She was brought here to lead our esophageal atresia and tracheomalacia surgical program, which is now one of a handful of national centers providing state-of-the art care to children with the most complex esophageal atresia and airway anomalies and building a destination center for esophageal atresia care.
She is also an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biomedical Informatics at Vanderbilt, reflecting her commitment to integrating cutting-edge technology and research into clinical practice. She is a Vanderbilt Faculty Research Scholar, with dedicated time and grant funding for research on the genetic etiology of congenital structural and surgical diseases. Current projects include building a registry of patients with esophageal atresia to better understand the disease process, associations, genomic risk factors through trio-sequencing, and postoperative outcomes, including long-term qualitative outcomes.
Many of her research projects involve usage of the Synthetic Derivative and BioVU at Vanderbilt, leveraging Vanderbilt resources to determine genomic etiologies for disease and clinical outcomes research. She is also the faculty lead for Vanderbilt in the Eastern Pediatric Surgery Network, allowing collaboration and multi-intuitional studies of both rare and common pediatric surgery diseases. Within her lab, she mentors numerous undergraduate students, medical students, residents, and fellows with ongoing research opportunities.
