Andrea Miele, PhD

Research Interests

I am the lead neuropsychologist at Children's Hospital's Imaging of Learning and Development Lab (CHILD Lab). Through a partnership with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, we are currently recruiting healthy pregnant mothers, babies, and young children for a longitudinal study investigating how maternal health and nutrition influence brain growth and cognitive development. For a separate study, we are also recruiting children with neurological (e.g., seizures, brain tumor). Time and travel for study visits is financially reimbursed.
