Understanding brain development in high-risk infants using magnetic resonance imaging [ 2019 - ]

Research Grant

Researchers: A/Pr Deanne Thompson (Principal investigator)

Brief description My research uses magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to look inside the brain of babies and children, aiming to understand how they grow and develop after early injury. I will produce methods to evaluate baby brains and make them commonly available to doctors, so they can easily find potential problems earlier than they would otherwise. I will also use MRI to see how well treatments work on the brain of sick children, before outward benefits are noticed.
