Our Long-Term Goal
We are on a mission to accelerate the translation and clinical application of novel imaging biomarkers to improve the monitoring of high-risk pregnancies and to develop windows of therapeutic opportunity aimed at repairing and restoring fetal health.
Currently Recruiting
Act Now
The Developing Brain Institute at Children’s National Hospital will serve as the magnetic resonance image coordinating center for the four-year Outcomes of Babies with Opioid Exposure (OBOE) study.
Heart2HEART
We are studying whether a prenatal maternal Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) intervention helps to improve maternal and infant outcomes for pregnant women carrying fetuses diagnosed with CHD.
Mommy & Me
Mommy & Me strives to find and effectively treat low-income Black women receiving prenatal care at our three recruiting sites and intervening early to help D.C. babies enjoy the strongest start in life.
Project MAGIC
Project MAGIC uses novel magnetic resonance spectroscopy to measure GABA concentrations in the developing brains of small preterm infants.
Project PROTECT
In Project PROTECT, we use cutting-edge imaging to monitor early brain development to pick up early signs if it veers off track.
Project RESCUE
In this research study, our team will leverage its mastery of sophisticated MRI studies to identify risks of COVID-19-related maternal distress.
