She completed her PhD in Neuroscience at King’s College London, following an MSc in Neuroscience at University College London. Before joining OMNI, she held a Research Fellow position in the Fetal Neonatal and Developmental Science Centre at Boston Children’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School, where she investigated fetal brain development in Congenital Heart Disease using advanced MRI techniques.

Research Focus

Her research interests centre on fetal and neonatal brain imaging, the analysis of structural brain development such as cortical morphometry. She combines neuroimaging, computational modelling methods, and clinical data mapping maternal health to better understand early neurodevelopment and its long-term implications.

Recent Work

Her current work examines links between prenatal brain development and early life outcomes, collaborating closely with the Department of Women’s Health to explore how maternal factors influence fetal brain growth. Publications include work in PNAS, Lancet eBioMedicine, Nature Human Behaviour, JAHA and eLife.
