Sian Wilson

Siân is Research Fellow at the Fetal-Neonatal Neuroimaging Developmental Science Center, Boston Children's Hospital, Harvard Medical School. She obtained her MSc in Neuroscience from University College London in 2019, and her PhD in Neuroscience from King’s College London in 2023, where she holds an affiliate position as a Research Associate. Her PhD work focussed on the development of analysis techniques for fetal diffusion MRI as part of the Developing Human Connectome Project, characterising the developing microstructure of the human brain.

At the FNNDSC, she works with Dr. Kiho Im, integrating diffusion analysis methods and surface modelling techniques to examine how microstructure influences spatiotemporal folding patterns. Her research is currently focused on investigating how the structural foundations of the brain are laid in utero, in both the healthy developing population and in Congenital Heart Disease.
