Dr Max Berry has dedicated her career to understanding and caring for babies born too soon.

As a consultant neonatologist she's on the floor of Wellington's neonatal intensive care unit supporting premature babies and their parents through the often rocky first weeks and months.

As a researcher her focus is ensuring better long-term outcomes, by understanding how prematurity impacts adult blood pressure regulation, diabetes risk and brain health.
