Andrew Chew

Dr. Andrew Chew is a Developmental Paediatrician/Psychologist at the Centre for the Developing Brain, King's College London, specializing in Early Life Imaging research. With 47 research publications and 1,518 citations, he has established himself as a significant contributor to the field of neonatal and infant brain development.

Dr. Chew's research focuses on the intersection of neuroscience, developmental psychology, and paediatric medicine. His work primarily investigates brain development in neonates and infants using advanced imaging techniques, with particular emphasis on how gestational age, congenital heart disease, and early life factors impact neurodevelopmental trajectories. His research contributes to UN Sustainable Development Goals related to health and well-being.

His recent publications (2024-2025) demonstrate active research in cortical scaling of neonatal brains, cognitive outcomes related to gestational age, hippocampal morphometry in congenital heart disease, attentional development, and early autism detection. These works show a consistent pattern of interdisciplinary research bridging clinical medicine, neuroscience, and developmental psychology.

Dr. Chew's scientific contributions have formed a distinctive research fingerprint characterized by expertise in:

• Magnetic Resonance Imaging (100%)
• Nerve Cell Differentiation (85%)
• Brain Development (70%)
• Fractional Anisotropy (70%)
• Thalamus research (69%)
• Gestational Age effects (60%)
• Diffusion MRI (49%)
• Premature Labor studies (47%)

His research has established significant collaborations across multiple institutions and countries, with particular strength in UK-China comparative studies on child development. Dr. Chew's work with community cohorts of toddlers and infants with congenital conditions demonstrates his commitment to translating neuroimaging findings into clinical practice for early intervention.
