Washington University in St. Louis

ABOUT US

Washington University in St. Louis is excited to be a part of the HBCD Study national consortium. Dr. Rogers and Dr. Bogdan have been working with parents and their infants and children for almost two decades. Our team is passionate about learning how neonatal brain development can be affected by the environment and what this means for long term developmental outcomes. The first study visit will take place at the Center for Outpatient Health (4901 Forest Park Ave.) with future study visits happening at either 4444 Forest Park Ave. or the East Building (4525 Scott Ave.).
