Dr. Bookstein is scientific director of the Fetal Alcohol and Drug Unit. He uses his expertise in morphometrics (the measurement of biological shape and shape change) to study brain damage in persons diagnosed with fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD). Currently, his research focuses on correlations between brain shape and behavioral deficits and psychiatric problems in persons diagnosed with FASD. He is exploring new ways to detect this brain damage at birth, so alcohol-affected children can be diagnosed and begin receiving appropriate interventions at the earliest possible age.
