Dr Samudragupta Bora is the Founding Director of the Health Services Research Center at University Hospitals Health System, Associate Professor of Pediatrics at University Hospitals Rainbow Babies & Children's Hospital and Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine in the United States, and Honorary Associate Professor at The University of Queensland. He previously served as Director of Early Childhood Neurodevelopmental Outcomes at University Hospitals Rainbow Babies & Children's Hospital and Group Leader of Neurodevelopmental Follow-Up and Outcomes at Mater Research Institute, The University of Queensland. He is the immediate past Chair of the Long-Term Outcomes of High-Risk Babies Subcommittee of the Perinatal Society of Australia and New Zealand.

His research aims to improve the quality of life for high-risk neonates, particularly those born preterm, and their families. Research studies span two core themes: 1) develop a better understanding of the long-term neurodevelopmental outcomes of high-risk neonates, and 2) discover the independent and interdependent roles of neurological and social factors underlying these outcomes. Furthermore, there is a growing emphasis on developing innovative care models to improve the delivery and accessibility of neurodevelopmental follow-up in low- and middle-income countries. In addition to research, he is committed to mentoring the next generation of clinician-scientists and scientists. He has extensive experience promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion in academic medicine.
