Goals
- To provide innovative leadership and create knowledge in developmental neuroscience and child health research
- To create an environment of interdisciplinary expertise
- To act as a centre for learning
- To establish partnerships that advance child health, provincially, nationally and internationally
- To influence public policy and practice pertaining to children
- To improve the health and well-being of children and their families by understanding the biological, behavioural, and social determinants of health and applying this knowledge to community-focused prevention, intervention, and health promotion.
Key Areas of Activity
The Developmental Neurosciences & Child Health research cluster promotes a collaborative, dynamic and interdisciplinary approach to research by interacting with others at CFRI, at the University of British Columbia (UBC), in the external community, and internationally.
Our research involves scholars and scientists whose diverse interests include developmental pediatrics; pediatric neurology, neurosurgery and neuroimaging; child pschiatry; psychology; nursing sciences; developmental neurobiology; pharmacogenomics; statistics, epidemiology and health care policy.
