Dr Joanne George

Senior Research Physiotherapist
Email:

Phone: 
+61 7 3069 7371

Dr Joanne George is a Paediatric Physiotherapist who obtained her PhD from The University of Queensland in 2017.  Her research project, PPREMO, investigated the ability of very early MRI and early clinical measures of motor, neurological and neurobehavioural function to identify infants at high risk of adverse motor outcomes following very premature birth. Jo has joined us as a Senior Research Physiotherapist for the AQIP program. Her role is to implement the state-wide Qld Early Detection and Intervention Network (QEDIN), progress early MRI studies in preterm and term infants, and as a therapist in the NHMRC-funded GAME study.
