Vivette Glover
Vivette Glover studied biochemistry at Oxford and obtained her PhD from London University. She then worked in biological psychiatry at Queen Charlotte's and Chelsea Hospital.
More recently she has applied this expertise to the problems of mothers and babies and is currently Professor of Perinatal Psychobiology, Imperial College, London.
She runs the "Fetal and Neonatal Stress Research Group" at the Institute of Development and Reproductive Biology, Recent projects include a study showing that maternal antenatal anxiety doubles the risk for hyperactivity in boys; studies showing possible mechanisms by which maternal anxiety may affect the development of the fetus; a study showing that babies born by different methods (elective caesarean, normal vaginal, assisted ) have different stress and crying responses at 8 weeks; and the first trial of analgesia in the fetus.
She has published over 350 papers.
