Bi-weekly Lecture Series with Guest Speaker: Dr. Terrie Inder
Date/Time: Wednesday, November 25th 10:00 am - 11:00 am Presenter: Terrie Inder, MBChB, MD Title: Focus on Improving Outcomes in High Risk Infants
About this Lecture Series Session: Terrie Inder, MBChB, MD is the Chair of the Department of Pediatric Newborn Medicine at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and a Neonatologist and Child Neurologist with a research focus on the newborn brain. Dr. Inder also undertakes clinical service within the neonatal intensive care unit. As all her research activities are clinical investigations, her studies and clinical care of high risk infants are tightly integrated. Her research is targeted at understanding the timing, mechanisms and impact of cerebral injury and altered cerebral development in the human infant.
Dr. Inder’s studies have focused on infants at high risk for brain injury including the prematurely-born infant, the sick term-born infant, and the infant with congenital heart disease. Her research aims to investigate means of accurate, early diagnosis of brain injury as well as developing treatments and preventive strategies to reduce subsequent disabilities. This research work has utilized technologies including near infrared spectroscopy, electroencephalography and magnetic resonance imaging. In 2013, she became the Chair of a new Department of Pediatric Newborn Medicine at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston. __________________________ Zoom meeting information:

Latest ISD Announcement
Please Install BCH Security Software on Your Remote Computer.
In response to the ongoing cyber threats BCH continues to face, we are requiring that all computers accessing our Full VPN have security software installed to help us detect malicious attacks. This includes remote workers using their own personal Windows or Macintosh computers. Most computers deployed by BCH as part of our COVID response already have this software installed.
This software will protect against an attacker from gaining access to your computer and ultimately the BCH network when you connect through Full VPN. This security software is only used to detect and alert on malicious activity and does not collect any documents or personal information. When it detects malicious activity, it notifies BCH IT Security Team.
If you choose to not to install this security software, your access to the BCH network will be limited to WebVPN (webvpn.childrens.harvard.edu) and MyApps (myapps.childrens.harvard.edu). Full VPN access will not be allowed without the security software installed.
Please install the Security Software Immediately:
Connect to VPN with the Pulse Client
