ABOUT US
The HBCD team at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill LOVES working with moms and their babies! Led by Dr. Karen Grewen & Dr. Weili Lin, our team has studied infant and child brain development using MRI & EEG for more than 15 years, building positive experiences with families who come back for study visits as their children grow up. Our multi-disciplinary team includes nine coordinators, a neuroradiologist, epidemiologist, pediatrician, maternal psychiatrist, imaging physicists, and developmental cognitive neuroscientists. Our team members have experience working with moms and children from diverse backgrounds, including moms who have experienced depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), or substance misuse. We have two new moms on our team who share their unique perspective about working with pregnant and new moms, and their babies. Our team is SO GRATEFUL to all the families who join the HBCD study, and we do all we can to create a comfortable, welcoming experience for each family at every study visit!
