Research aim
We use longitudinal fetal and neonatal neuroimaging and neuromonitoring to study brain development and function, model brain diseases, and improve long term outcome in high-risk infants.
About us
Our research group focuses on improving long-term outcome for high-risk neonates, specifically targeting brain injury and altered development. Through advanced fetal and neonatal neuroimaging and neuromonitoring, we offer precise diagnosis and evaluate interventions. Key to our efforts is the establishment of an open-access neonatal database, including multimodal data from high-risk infants.
Our multidisciplinary team and our expertise in complex neurodiagnostic and treatment positions us as the national NFU-expertise center in neonatal neurology, providing national and international consults for newborns with neurological problems. Our dedicated team of neuro-neonatologists is always available, providing the best care to meet our patients’ unique needs. We provide training to neonatal neurology fellows and promote knowledge dissemination through international conferences and workshops.
Collaboration is central to our approach, with experts on fetal and neonatal neuroimaging, pediatric neurology, neurophysiology, child rehabilitation and neurosurgery. We stimulate a dynamic multidisciplinary exchange between patient care and scientific research, resulting in leading publications and successful engagements in European consortia. We collaborate closely with parents/patients’ organisations, advisory committees, and industries, on a national and international level, to ensure an optimal fit between clinical-research and experience-based expertise.
