Rationale

The rationale of the program is to further develop our focus on Neuroimaging Training in Pediatrics & Brain Development and to train scientists at the postdoctoral level who will pursue successful careers translating neuroimaging technologies from research to treatment of pediatric brain disease in an academic setting.

• To provide integrated instruction in application-oriented neuroimaging research aimed at developmental neuroscience and translation to pediatric clinical applications.
• To provide rigorous research training that emphasizes advanced neuroimaging approaches to understanding nervous system function, development and disorders in children.
• To inculcate the concept of collaborative, multidisciplinary research between imaging scientists and clinical pediatric neuroscientists as a team approach.
