Title Description Investigator(s) Category Status
Laboratory of Developmental Neuroscience The Laboratory of Developmental Neuroscience is dedicated to studying the developmental neurobiological basis of pediatric onset neuropsychiatric disorders. We use neurochemical and molecular genetic research tools to develop new knowledge that may lead to improvement in clinical pharmacology. Program for Neurodevelopmental Disorders On-going
Samples and Phenotype Committee Leadership in the Autism Sequencing Consortium Along with Catalina Betancur (France) and Louise Gallagher (Ireland), the Samples and Phenotypes Committee works with the larger Autism Sequencing Consortium to identify new genetic variants in autism spectrum disorder and to understand the relationship of genetic variation in ASD to phenotype.
