Dr. Choudhury is Associate Professor of Psychology at Ramapo College of New Jersey and at the Center for Molecular and Behavioral Neuroscience at Rutgers Rutgers University in New Jersey. Dr. Benasich is Professor of Neuroscience and Director of Infancy Studies at the Center for Molecular and Behavioral Neuroscience. Her research focuses on the study of early neural processes necessary for typical and disordered language development. Specifically, she studies the development of temporally bounded sensory information processing (shown to be a major predictor of language impairment and dyslexia), the neural substrates that support these developing abilities and the relations seen with emerging language and cognitive abilities from infancy through early childhood. Dr. Fitch received her B.S. from Duke University and her Ph.D. in biobehavioral sciences (concentration in developmental psychobiology) from The University of Connecticut. Her research centers on understanding how the disruption of early brain development underlies subsequent cognitive disabilities, with a particular focus on risk factors for language-relevant skills. Topics of research include animal models of brain damage typical of premature and term birth insult, as well as animal models for genetic risk factors associated with cognitive disability. Dr. Black is Assistant Professor, Graduate School of Social Work at Boston College. Nadine Gaab, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Pediatrics, Boston Children's Hospital/Harvard Medical School, Department of Medicine/Division of Developmental Medicine, Laboratories of Cognitive Neuroscience, 1 Autumn Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02115. Nadine Gaab is an associate professor of pediatrics at Boston Children's Hospital/Harvard Medical School and a faculty member at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. Her current research focuses on auditory and language processing in the human brain and its applications for the development of typical and atypical language and literacy skills. The Gaab Lab is currently working on various topics with a main focus on early identification of developmental dyslexia in the prereading and infant brain. The Gaab Lab employs cross-sectional and longitudinal study designs and works closely with more than 20 private and public schools within the greater New England area. Dr. Gerrits is Professor and Faculty of Health Care at HU University of Applied Sciences Utrecht in The Netherlands. P. Ellen Grant is Chair in Neonatology at Childrenâ (TM)s Hospital Boston, and Founding Director of the Fetal-Neonatal Neuroimaging & Developmental Science Center.
