Associate Professor University of Michigan, USA

Dr. Bo had worked as a pediatrician in China. Her earlier clinical experience with children initiated her research interest in understanding the underlying mechanisms of children with sensorimotor coordination difficulties. She received her doctorate and master’s degrees at University of Maryland, College Park. During her doctoral training, Dr. Bo also worked at Kennedy Krieger Institute, Johns Hopkins University. After graduation, Dr. Bo went on for postdoctoral training at the University of Michigan before being hired by Eastern Michigan University.

Dr. Bo’s research focuses on the behavioral and neural mechanisms of age-related differences in individuals with cognitive and motor difficulties, such as children with Autism Spectrum Disorders, Developmental Coordination Disorder, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and older adults with mild cognitive impairments. Current projects examine different approaches to facilitate learning in these populations.
