Imaging technology such as MRI and DTI is used to analyze factors such as cortical volume and white matter composition. My current role within EBDS involves performing comprehensive chart reviews of the 800+ participants enrolled in our study. We must strictly maintain the integrity and confidentiality of our data in order to protect our participants and stay in-line with IRB standards. My previous role in EBDS consisted of masking MRI scans of the brain via ITK-SNAP. While in this role, I was able to begin an independent research project that involved analyzing the relationship between fetal and neonatal lateral ventricle size (volume and diameter) and later outcomes on behavioral assessments related to ADHD. I plan on expanding my analysis in the future and achieving publication. Show less

The curriculum focuses particularly on opioids, methamphetamine, benzodiazepines, and cocaine.
