Kathrine Skak Madsen

Senior Researcher, Senior Associate Professor

Research Interests

My research is mainly within the fields of developmental cognitive neuroscience, developmental psychiatry, and pediatric neuroimaging. My research focuses on individual differences in human brain and behavioral development, and on how environmental and hormonal factors modulate such development. I am particularly interested in characterizing typical and atypical brain and behavioral developmental trajectories and in mapping developing brain-behavioral relationships. In my research, I employ multimodal neuroimaging techniques, behavioral and clinical assessments, and sampling of biomarkers in cross-sectional and longitudinal studies of typically developing and at-risk pediatric populations.
