Dr. Duncan is originally from New Haven, CT. She attended Brown University as an undergraduate where she studied architectural studies. She then attended Bryn Mawr College’s Pre-medical Postbaccalaureate Program prior to obtaining her MD and MHS degrees at the Yale School of Medicine. She completed her pediatrics residency at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and then moved to Boston for her clinical fellowship in the Harvard Combined Neonatal-Perinatal Fellowship Training program. Since fellowship, she has been on the Neonatology faculty at MGH.

Clinically, Dr. Duncan is interested in intraventricular hemorrhage in the NICU and developing protocols for screening and intervention. Her basic science research focuses on the genetics of neurodevelopmental disorders, and she is currently using zebrafish to model rare genetic causes found in patient cohorts.

Outside of the hospital, she enjoys running and spending time with her husband and three children.
