He is Professor and Chair of Epidemiology at Brown University, and also directs Brown’s Center for Population Health and Clinical Epidemiology and the Center for the Study of Human Development. Dr. Buka is an expert in the measurement of the key obstetric events and their effect on adult neuropsychiatric conditions and in childhood. As director of the follow-up of the NE CPP, which he has followed for over 30 years, he has expertise in the baseline biological and clinical measures during pregnancy, delivery and early life. He is the custodian of newly collected biological samples, has expertise in location and recruitment of the NE CPP, and maintains the connection to the central NCPP database; all of which will be critical to the success of SCOR Project 1. Dr. Buka is also the PI of the Providence, RI and Bristol County, MA sites of the National Children’s Study, a new prenatal cohort with many similarities to the CPP which aims to study 100,000 children across the United States, following them from before birth until age 21.
