Biography

Hilary Toulmin is an Assistant Professor and Honorary Specialist Neurodevelopmental Paediatrician at the Autism Research Centre. Dr. Toulmin's research focuses on autism and neurodevelopmental differences, with a particular interest in fetal brain development and its impact on neurodevelopmental outcomes in children born preterm. With an academic background supported by an NIHR academic clinical fellowship and a Wellcome Trust Research Training Fellowship, she adeptly employs functional neuroimaging methods to investigate brain connectivity and its association with motor, language, and cognitive outcomes in toddlers. Her current projects aim to address inequities in access to services for families and communities, understand the trajectories of needs for autistic children, and improve the physical health outcomes for children with neurodevelopmental differences, emphasizing the significance of parental input in shaping these studies.
