from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, M.D. from the University of California, San Francisco, and completed her radiology residency and neuroradiology fellowship at the University of California, San Francisco.

Dr. Glenn is committed to advancing fetal neuroimaging, though both her clinical and research work. Her research has contributed to our understanding of both normal and abnormal brain development in utero. Her work using advanced imaging techniques has helped us to better understand how the brain develops in utero. She works closely with obstetricians, perinatologists, child neurologists, pediatric neurosurgeons, and the Fetal Treatment Center at UCSF. Dr. Glenn's expertise in fetal MRI has resulted in numerous invitations to deliver high impact national and international lectures.

Dr. Glenn served as Principal Investigator and Co-Investigator in several NIH grants. She has published over 80 articles and has contributed to over 90 abstracts. She has mentored many medical students, graduate students, residents, fellows, and junior faculty.
