Perinatal Imaging & Health

Research that furthers our understanding of the earliest stages of brain development.

The Department of Perinatal Imaging & Health’s research aims to reduce the number of children who suffer brain damage in the perinatal period through close alignment with the Centre for the Developing Brain.

Working with St Thomas’ Hospital and Evelina Children’s Hospital, our clinicians, scientists and academics study the causes and consequences of neurodevelopmental impairment from fundamental science through to clinical practice. Taking advantage of powerful new imaging technologies, we want to contribute to new understanding of how brain structures develop at the earliest stage.
