Catherine Lebel is an Associate Professor of Radiology at the University of Calgary and a Canada Research Chair in Pediatric Imaging. She leads the Child Brain & Mental Health Program at the Alberta Children’s Hospital Research Institute and is a member of the Hotchkiss Brain Institute.
Dr. Lebel’s research uses MRI to study how brain structure and function change with age in typical children and those with neurodevelopmental conditions including fetal alcohol spectrum disorder and learning disabilities. She also examines how brain structure and function are related to cognitive, behavioural and environmental factors, including the prenatal environment.
