To analyse neuroimaging, cognitive, and biological data from the UKRI MRC-funded PREterm Neurodevelopment and COGnition study (PRENCOG), the Theirworld Edinburgh Birth Cohort (TEBC), and other early life image datasets available to the research community. We wish to develop an understanding of how preterm birth affects the brain by studying children born preterm and term comparators. We are collecting multiscale data during the neonatal period and at ages 5 and 7 years. The post-holder will apply statistical and computational approaches to the analysis of high-dimensional data sets from children affected by preterm birth, including MRI, DNA methylation, and phenotypic data, and they will undertake longitudinal image analyses. To contribute to the development of new ideas, approaches, concepts or techniques, to the overall direction and management of this research project, and to publishing or otherwise disseminating the outputs of the research.
