Academic career

After a 2010 PhD titled Respiratory variability in infants and children at the University of Otago, Elder rose to full professor[1] in 2012.[4]

Much of Elder's research involves breathing issues in babies and children, but she is involved on other areas of paediatrics as well.[5][6]
