°×С½ãÂÛ̳

More than 100 attendees met to consider bringing together all those working in the area of developmental cognitive neuroscience in a virtual centre to address one aspect of °×С½ãÂÛ̳'s Grand Challenge of Human Wellbeing.

The event was chaired by Professor Malcolm Grant, °×С½ãÂÛ̳ President and Provost, and attracted staff not just from °×С½ãÂÛ̳ Biomedical Sciences and °×С½ãÂÛ̳ Life Sciences, but also from °×С½ãÂÛ̳ Engineering Sciences, °×С½ãÂÛ̳ Mathematical & Physical Sciences and the °×С½ãÂÛ̳ Bartlett School, as well as from the clinical communities of °×С½ãÂÛ̳H, Moorfields Eye Hospital and Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children

Professor Grant commented: "There was a great deal of enthusiasm in the audience for this initiative, with many participants welcoming the potential for increased collaboration and cooperation between clinicians and experimental scientists from diverse disciplines. A consensus emerged that the centre should encompass developmental neuroscience as a whole and provide the opportunity to study development across species and across the lifespan in health and in disease or injury."
