Developmental origins of disease

Research aim

Our laboratory is dedicated to understanding how early life events, such as preterm birth and perinatal complications, influence brain development and long-term outcomes.

About us

By uncovering the mechanisms behind neonatal brain injury, we aim to pioneer innovative neuroprotective and regenerative therapies that improve the lives of newborns. Our research thrives on a collaborative and translational approach, integrating expertise across four complementary research lines. Beyond the lab, we contribute to (bio)medical teaching and clinical advancements, ensuring our discoveries drive meaningful change from the classroom to the clinic.
