Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Jayne B. Bellando's research centers on health sciences, with a particular focus on autism spectrum disorder and child development. Her work has investigated metabolic imbalances associated with methylation dysregulation and oxidative damage in children with autism, as well as the development of tools for measuring treatment outcomes in this population. Bellando has also explored quality-of-life measures for children with autism spectrum disorders and examined treatment effectiveness for sleep problems in this group, including caregiver spillover effects. Her research extends to maternal anxiety and depression during pregnancy and its impact on newborn brain development, and has included studies on the developmental status of infants based on feeding methods. She has collaborated with researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Xiawei Ou, Charles M. Glasier, Aline Andres, and Xiaoxu Na, on multiple publications. Bellando's scholarship metrics include an h-index of 13, with 39 total publications and 847 total citations.
