Biography

Sarah Lloyd-Fox is a leading investigator in the inter-disciplinary Perinatal Imaging Partnership Families (PIPKIN) Study and the Brain Imaging Global Health (BRIGHT) Study. Her research focuses on understanding how early life influences cognitive function and behavior, particularly in the context of poverty-related challenges in the UK and low-middle income countries such as The Gambia. She has pioneered the use of functional Near Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS) as a developmental research tool, developing field-friendly neuroimaging and behavioral toolkits for use in low-income home settings. Through partnerships with community-informed initiatives, her goal is to leverage research findings to develop novel early life interventions. Specific efforts are aimed at optimizing family-mediated interventions to bridge the transition from pre- to post-natal life, tailoring them to suit the needs of individual communities in both UK and global health contexts.
