Our Research

The focus of the Baby BRAIN Lab is to better understand brain development and injury in newborns. Using advanced magnetic resonance (MR) techniques and bedside brain monitoring we study how early-life brain injury, clinical illness, and social determinants of health impact neurodevelopment in newborns at high risk for developmental disabilities. We are also interested in understanding long-term developmental trajectories in children with early-life brain injury. A better understanding of the factors that impact brain development and injury will allow us to directly improve the neurodevelopmental outcome of high-risk newborns.
