About Daria Murosko, MD, MPH

Daria Murosko, MD, MPH is a neonatologist and health services researcher with a strong interest in understanding and eliminating perinatal health inequities. Her research focuses on community factors that may drive racial and ethnic differences in preterm birth and infant mortality. Through her research, she aims to leverage local and institutional policy to promote healthy communities for both pregnant people and newborn infants. She is currently studying the health effects of neighborhood change, including rising housing costs, with the goal of identifying solutions for housing assistance policies to optimize infant well-being.

Dr. Murosko attended the University of Maryland with a degree in biochemistry and a minor in linguistics. She went to medical school at the Perelman School of Medicine, where she also obtained a Master’s degree in Public Health.
