Dr Galinsky is Senior Research Fellow and Head of the Perinatal Inflammation and Neurophysiology Laboratory. His team's research program spans the disciplines of developmental neuroscience & physiology, medical imaging, bioengineering & translational science. 

Too much inflammation in the brain can lead to impaired cell development and result in cognitive, language and movement disorders in later life. Our work focuses on how inflammation during pregnancy or shortly after birth impairs brain cell development and function, and studies how anti-inflammatory interventions could help restore brain development. Our vision is to develop improved methods and therapies for detection and treatment of developmental brain injury to reduce the incidence and severity of disability. 

Dr Galinsky is accepting graduate students applications (Hons/Masters/PhD).
