Overview
Background
Dr Kerstin Pannek joined UQ’s School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science in 2023. Her research program utilises neonatal and pediatric brain MRI to gain insights into normal and abnormal brain development, predict neurodevelopmental outcomes of at-risk infants such as those born very preterm or with fetal growth restriction, and identify brain plasticity in response to intervention in children with cerebral palsy.
Her research expertise is in advanced diffusion MRI and structural connectivity analysis.
