Vivette Glover

Vivette Glover (born 1942) is a British Professor of Perinatal Psychobiology at Imperial College London. She studies the effects of stress in pregnancy on the development of the fetus and child.[1][2][3]

Education

Her first degree was in biochemistry at Oxford University, and she undertook her PhD in neurochemistry at University College London.

Career

Glover has worked at Queen Charlotte's and Chelsea Hospital, London where she became head of the Fetal and Neonatal Stress Research Group.[4][5] Here she undertook work investigating postnatal depression and was involved in trials to improve symptoms for mothers.[5] In more recent years she has applied her expertise in biological psychiatry to the problems of mothers and babies. Recent projects of interest include studies showing that maternal prenatal stress, depression or anxiety increases the probability for a range of adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes for the child. These include emotional problems, attention deficit/ hyperactivity disorder, conduct disorder, and cognitive impairment.[1] Her group are also studying the biological mechanisms that may underlie such fetal programming.

Glover is currently treasurer of the Marcé Society.[6]

Awards and honours

Glover was awarded the Parent Infant Partnership UK Award for Research in Pregnancy and Infant Mental Health in 2014.[7] She has also been awarded the Marcé Society Medal.

Personal life

Vivette Glover is also married to Jonathan Glover, a British philosopher known for his studies on bioethics.[citation needed]
