Developing Brain Institute at Children's National

The A. James & Alice B. Clark Foundation invests $36M to enhance families’ access to #mentalhealth & community resources. @LeeBeers & Catherine Limperopoulos @devbrainlab explain how the new network will give D.C. children the best start to life @postlive youtube.com/watch?v=gRx6D-…

We’re entering the #PAS2025 home stretch on Monday, finishing the conference w/ two @DevBrainLab oral abstracts: Hear Susan Weiner’s award-winning abstract at 9:30-9:45 am in Room 319, followed by Yao Wu’s presentation at 9:45-10 am in Room 314.

#PAS2025 presentations take time to prepare & perfect, & Nickie Andescavage adds expertise from abstract submission through presentation. @DevBrainLab is fortunate to benefit from her knowledge! Stop by Room 313A 2:30-2:45 p.m. 2 hear her discuss placental function #research.

#PAS2025 presentations on Sunday, cont.

Attending the penultimate day of #PAS2025? I hope you can make time for a diverse array of poster presentations and Oral Abstracts by researchers affiliated with @DevBrainLab on Sunday.

An enormous TY to this morning’s @DevBrainLab #PAS2025 presenters: Yao Wu, Caroline Wambach & Jung-Hoon Kim. Special thanks to Dr. Wu for also presenting for Maria G. Mora Alvarez, for Dr. Kim battling through a cold; and Kevin M. Cook, for juggling presenting & co-moderating!

@JAMANetworkOpen Thanks for raising awareness for this @DevBrainLab #research @JAMANetworkOpen!

Fetuses with congenital heart disease (CHD) are more likely to have impaired body growth, higher fetal to placental volume ratio, and smaller brain volume vs healthy fetuses. ja.ma/3YcVrGB @DevBrainLab

GM,#PAS2025 attendees. We know Saturday’s agenda is packed, but we hope to see you some of today’s @DevBrainLab’s posters and Oral Abstracts!

I am so proud of all of our #PAS2024 presentations. Please join us at 1 p.m. in 203 for our team’s final presentation @PASMeeting, when Jung-Hoon Kim, Ph.D., presents 'Improved prediction of fetal neurobiological features by censoring high-motion frames in fetal functional #MRI’

Set your alarm! Join us bright and early Monday, at 8 a.m. in Room 204, as Stephanie L. Merhar, M.D., MS, presents ‘Antenatal #opioid exposure is associated with reduced global and regional brain volumes in newborns,’ research co-authored with @DevBrainLab ‘s Yao Wu, Ph.D.

Sunday’s @DevBrainLab’s #PAS2024 highlights include a 2:45 p.m. presentation in 201 F by Sudeepta K. Basu, M.D., about the interplay between brain chemistry in preterm infants and cognitive deficits later in life @PASMeeting

At 2 p.m. TODAY join us in 201 F as @DevBrainLab’s Kevin M. Cook, Ph.D., presents ‘In utero #SSRI exposure alters fetal cerebral cortical development and structural brain connectivity’ on behalf of first author Josepheen De Asis-Cruz, M.D., Ph.D. @PASMeeting

At 11:05 a.m. TODAY join us in 718 B for the ‘Best of SPR Featured Science.’ @DevBrainLab’s SPR 2023 Bridging to Success award-winner, Sudeepta K. Basu, M.D., will present ‘GABA-editing spectroscopy for understanding the developing brain in preterm infants’ @PASMeeting

At 3:30 TODAY, come by Hall E for #PAS2024 poster presentations by the @DevBrainLab team about the implications of prenatal #COVID exposure; repercussions of therapeutic opioid exposure for infants born #preterm; and brain chemistry in infants whose moms had diabetes @PASMeeting

Preterm babies experience a radically different auditory, tactile, and visual environs than term babies. How does this affect their sensory system development and neurodev outcomes? Read about it in our new work! shorturl.at/huAX9 @DevBrainLab @ChildrensNatl @iScience_CP

At 11:15 a.m. TODAY, join Josepheen De Asis-Cruz, M.D., Ph.D. in Room 202 as she explains the ‘Associations between antenatal opioid exposure and newborn functional brain connectivity.’ This is one of THREE #PAS2024 presentations of Dr. Cruz’s research. @DevBrainLab @PASMeeting

#PAS2024 highlights from @DevBrainLab this am: Katherine M. Ottolini, M.D., w/ “Type of intravenous lipid emulsion affects very preterm brain development” and Tameka T. Watson, M.D., w/ “Timing of growth failure in very premature infants and implications for brain development”

Don’t forget to take in this evening’s #PAS2024 poster session in Exhibition Hall E. From 5:15-7:15 p.m., Nickie Andescavage, M.D., presents on behalf of Yao Wu, Ph.D., who is headed to Singapore for a different #research conference (more to come about Dr. Wu’s presentation).

If you’re among the estimated 7K attending #PAS2024 in Toronto, head to 206 BD at 3:45 p.m. TODAY to learn about the association between maternal psychopathology, #SSRI use during pregnancy and altered fetal hippocampal connectivity in utero

Researchers affiliated with @DevBrainLab will present two oral poster symposia, eight platforms and four posters at #PAS2024. Follow our handle for details about individual sessions, and view our complete speaker lineup via: developingbrainresearchlab.org/pas-2024/

This is wonderful news @ZEROTOTHREE ! @DevBrainLab is SO proud of you, U’nek!
