Lianne Jane Woodward

I am a PhD-trained child developmental psychologist. My research uses a life course perspective to understand the developmental processes that place children at risk of adverse cognitive, educational, motor and mental health outcomes. These processes include the effects of preterm birth, brain injury, prenatal drug exposures, parenting and psychosocial adversity. Research awards include the HRC Liley Medal, the Condliffe Memorial Prize, James Cook Fellowship, Commonwealth Scholarship, William Georgetti Scholarship, and a team leadership award from Mass General Brigham for her work in establishing the Brigham Centre for Child Development.
