R. Holly Fitch, Ph.D.
Dr. Fitch received her B.S. from Duke University and her Ph.D. in
biobehavioral sciences (concentration in developmental psychobiology)
from The University of Connecticut. Her research centers on
understanding how the disruption of early brain development underlies
subsequent cognitive disabilities, with a particular focus on
risk factors for language-relevant skills. Topics of research include
animal models of brain damage typical of premature and term birth
insult, as well as animal models for genetic risk factors associated
with cognitive disability.
