Recruits will receive support from the Provost and their School Dean and will join the UVA Brain Institute and the broader neuroscience community. Areas of particular interest and strength include (but are not limited to) the discovery and characterization of early biomarkers of intellectual disabilities, understanding how perinatal experiences impact early brain development, and developing early interventions to mitigate the negative impact of prematurity and the NICU environment on brain development.
