Presentation of research activities
The “Neurodevelopment” Unit has expertise in neonatal and pediatric brain development. Its research projects focus on both the short- and long-term links between early life events and the perinatal environment on subsequent neurodevelopment, cognition, and academic success. Populations of newborns at risk for brain injury, particularly preterm infants and full-term infants with perinatal asphyxia, are studied longitudinally up to school age to identify risk and protective factors for neurodevelopment, such as exposure to pain and stress in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), nutritional strategies, and developmental care. To assess the consequences of brain injury and maturation, newborns and children undergo multimodal evaluation, including brain MRI, high-density EEG, as well as neurological and neuropsychological assessments.
Juliane Schneider
Dr Juliane Schneider received her degree in medicine in 2003 and trained in the field of paediatrics. She later pursued further in-depth training in Neonatology, with a Foederatio Medicorum Helveticorum (FMH) title in 2012, later followed by Developmental Paediatrics (FMH title in 2020). Given her interest in Neonatal Neurology, she further pursued her education through a 2-year clinical research training fellowship in this field at the Toronto Hospital for Sick Children (Canada). Since her return in 2017, she has worked as a physician associate at the CHUV’s Neonatology department, sharing her time between the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and the Development Unit where follow-up care for high-risk children is provided.
