Overview
Dr. Jayaraman graduated magna cum laude with an undergraduate degree in biochemical sciences from Harvard College in 2008. She then joined the Harvard-MIT MD-PhD program, where she received her Ph.D. in Neurobiology from the Harvard Graduate School of Arts and Sciences in 2015 and her M.D. from Harvard Medical School in 2017. She completed her residency in pediatrics at Boston Children’s Hospital in 2019. Her training in child neurology at Boston Children’s Hospital coincided with the COVID-19 pandemic. After completing child neurology residency in 2022, she stayed at Boston Children’s Hospital as a clinical and research neurology fellow, conducting research in the lab of Dr. Alan Beggs on the genetics of inherited muscle disorders, while also seeing patients with neuromuscular disorders in clinic and working as a spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) clinical trial sub-investigator with Dr. Basil T. Darras at Boston Children’s Hospital. Finally, she completed a clinical fellowship in neuromuscular medicine and electromyography (EMG) at Massachusetts General Hospital and Brigham and Women’s Hospital in 2024. She is a diplomate of the ABPN in Child Neurology.Dr. Jayaraman’s clinical expertise and practice focuses on neuromuscular disorders of infancy, childhood and adolescence, including Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, spinal muscular atrophy, myasthenia gravis, inherited and acquired myopathies and neuropathies, as well as general pediatric neurology.
Dr. Jayaraman is highly rated in 6 conditions, according to our data. Her top areas of expertise are Rigid Spine Syndrome, Schizencephaly, Periventricular Heterotopia, and Microcephaly.
Her clinical research consists of co-authoring 9 peer reviewed articles. MediFind looks at clinical research from the past 15 years.

Additional Areas of Focus
Dr. Jayaraman has provided the following conditions as areas of focus. Please note that we may not have enough data to validate their experience in some of these conditions.
Clinical Research
Clinical research consists of overseeing clinical studies of patients undergoing new treatments and therapies, and publishing articles in peer reviewed medical journals. Providers who actively participate in clinical research are generally at the forefront of the fields and aware of the most up-to-date advances in treatments for their patients.
CUIMC/Neurological Institute Of New York
Matthew Harms, MD is an Associate Professor of Neurology. Dr. Harms received his A.B. in Biology summa cum laude from Harvard University in 1997, and his medical doctorate from the University of California San Francisco in 2003. He remained at San Francisco for neurology residency and served as Chief Resident in his final year. Dr. Harms completed neuromuscular medicine and clinical neurophysiology fellowships under the mentorship of Dr. Alan Pestronk at Washington University in St. Louis. His clinical training in neuromuscular diseases led him into the laboratory of Dr. Robert Baloh, where his post-doctoral research identified the genes responsible for two orphan human diseases- dominant spinal muscular atrophy with lower extremity predominance and limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 1D.Dr. Harms joined the neuromuscular medicine faculty at Washington University in 2009 with board certifications in neurology, clinical neurophysiology, and neuromuscular medicine. In 2011, Dr. Harms assumed leadership of the Washington University Neuromuscular Genetics Project and established his research laboratory to continue harnessing emerging genetic technologies to understand the causes of inherited neuromuscular diseases. The lab focuses on diseases of the motor neuron, including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, spinal muscular atrophy, and the hereditary motor neuropathies, and where his efforts have helped identify more than 5 novel disease genes. Here at Columbia, he will continue these efforts, directing an international multi-site effort using whole genome and transcriptome sequencing to bring precision medicine to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. His laboratory efforts will occur in both the Motor Neuron Center and the Institute for Genomic Medicine. Dr. Harms is highly rated in 11 conditions, according to our data. His top areas of expertise are Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS or Lou Gehrig's Disease), Primary Lateral Sclerosis, Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA), and Spinal Muscular Atrophy Type 3.
