Laurel Gabard-Durnam

Sponsor: Gates Foundation

This increased investment of $8 million from the Gates Foundation to expands Dr. Gabard-Durnam’s research program centered around using EEG to benchmark early brain development in global and low-resource settings. This investment will now include rolling out scalable infant EEG metrics in early maternal and neonatal RCTs as an intervention outcome measure, and a focus on building cloud-based EEG processing software and integrating AI tools to improve scalable brain health measurement in infants and toddlers in underserved contexts.
