Biography

As a researcher at the Sainte-Justine University Hospital Center, Dr. Anne Gallagher is a full professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Montreal. Her research interests focus on children's cognitive and language development. Specifically, her research program is divided into two main areas: 1) typical language development during early childhood; and 2) the cognitive and cerebral effects of various pediatric diseases and syndromes, such as epilepsy, congenital heart anomalies, and prematurity. In her laboratory, the Optical Imaging in Neurodevelopment Laboratory (LIONlab), her team uses neuropsychological assessments and brain imaging, including near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) and electroencephalography (EEG), to better understand these pathologies and their effects on brain development, identify predictive markers for neurodevelopmental prognosis, and develop pre-surgical assessment techniques suitable for these populations.
