Dr Gayatri Jape is a Clinical Associate Professor in Paediatrics at the UWA Medical School, University of Western Australia. She holds similar clinical associate professor positions at Curtin University and Edith Cowan University. Since 2015, she has served as a consultant neonatologist at King Edward Memorial Hospital and leads the Neonatal Follow-Up Program at the Child and Adolescent Health Service, managing follow-up care for high-risk infants up to five years old. With over 18 years of experience in paediatrics and neonatology in Australia and overseas, Jape is committed to advancing neonatal care through clinical practice, research, and leadership.
She obtained her MBBS in 2002 and MD in Paediatrics in 2007 from the University of Mumbai, both with distinction, followed by Fellowship of the Royal Australasian College of Physicians in 2013. In 2022, she completed her PhD at UWA titled Nutritional Benefits of Probiotics in Preterm Infants, supervised by Karen Simmer and Sanjay Patole. Her research centers on probiotics for preterm infants, enteral nutrition, gut-brain axis, and neurodevelopmental outcomes, including autism spectrum disorder in preterm children. Jape led the SiMPro randomized controlled trial (ACTRN12615000940572) evaluating single versus multi-strain probiotics on enteral nutrition in extremely preterm infants, and the ProPara pilot trial (ACTRN12618000489291) on live versus heat-inactivated probiotics.
Jape chairs the Perinatal Society of Australia and New Zealand Long-Term Outcomes Sub-Committee, serves on the Newborn Brain Society Communications Committee, and is a member of the neonatal-perinatal advanced training committee. She reviews for high-impact peer-reviewed journals and has received grants from Princess Margaret Hospital Foundation (2015, 2018), Telethon Channel Seven Trust (2016, 2017), UWA Centre for Neonatal Research and Education (2017), and Stan Perron Foundation (2020). Notable publications include Benefits of probiotics in preterm neonates in low-income and medium-income countries: a systematic review (BMJ Open, 2017) and Effect of single versus multistrain probiotic in extremely preterm infants: a randomised clinical trial (Archives of Disease in Childhood Fetal and Neonatal Edition, 2022).
