Ana G. Cristancho, MD, PhD

Dr. Cristancho is a child neurologist specializing in Fetal and Neonatal Neurology. Her research focuses on understanding the mechanisms that regulate the extent of disabilities some kids have after prenatal and neonatal brain injury. Her goal is to help develop novel therapeutic interventions.

Christopher G. Ward, MD

Dr. Ward works to understand the possible long-term effects of anesthesia on the developing brain using both basic science and clinical studies. Clinically, he focuses on the anesthetic care of neurosurgical patients, patients with difficult airways, and patients with epidermolysis bullosa.

Stewart A. Anderson, MD

Dr. Anderson’s research interests focus on the molecular and cellular mechanisms that govern the development of the mammalian forebrain. In his research on the development of the cerebral cortex, he is particularly interested in understanding the molecular underpinnings behind the fate determination and axon targeting of subclasses of GABAergic interneurons implicated in the neuropathology of schizophrenia.
