Dr. Mark Petersen is a neonatologist and neuroscientist who serves as director of the UCSF Neuro-Intensive Care Nursery. He cares for premature and critically ill infants and leads research focused on pioneering treatments for newborn brain injury. Dr. Petersen and his wife, Allison, have been married for over 20 years and are proud parents to four children. Together, they enthusiastically cheer on their kids at countless games and meets, reliving their own “glory days” from the sidelines.
