KBHN Research and Trainee Manager
Doug Swanson has been a part of Kids Brain Health Network from its inception back in 2010. He took on the role of Research Program Manager to help oversee the implementation and growth of the nation-wide Training Program. He received his PhD in Neuroscience from the University of Florida and continued his postdoctoral training at Oregon Health Sciences University and the University of Tennessee Health Science Center. His work as a developmental neuroscientist has taken him from his early work in animal models of FASD to studies of the genetic underpinnings of normal and abnormal brain development. His work with KBHN now focuses on maximizing the efforts of Network researchers and trainees and developing innovative ways of training young researchers to become the “next generation” of leaders in neurodevelopmental disorder research.
