CHOP’s new translational neuroscience center, BRIDGE, works to understand basic and translational mechanisms of neurodevelopmental disorders.

The Center for Brain Research in Development, Genetics and Engineering (BRIDGE) applies innovative technology and advanced model systems to understand basic mechanisms of brain development and advance the implementation of novel therapeutics.

CHOP PriCARE is a FREE, VIRTUAL workshop for caregivers of children 18 months - 6 years of age.

With support from the Harold Amos Medical Faculty Development Program, Ana Cristancho, MD, PhD, hopes to learn more about the epigenetic pathways that underlie early-life injuries.

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.

Investigating limbic circuitry, mental function, and new neurons of the postnatal brain (Lab LMNoP).

Dr. Eisch is a neuroscientist interested in how molecular, cellular, and circuit changes—particularly in the limbic system—influence motivated behavior and cognition. She is specifically interested in how neuroplasticity in the hippocampal dentate gyrus contributes to both normal and pathological function with relevance to depression, addiction, neurodevelopmental disorders, and even space flight.
