Diversity and Inclusion
A core belief of the lab is to recruit diverse people with diverse ideas to truly tackle interesting scientific questions. The diversity that each person brings to the lab strengthens the discussions and is viewed as a resource and benefit.

Our work aims to better understand rare genetic diseases affecting the brain. Our mission is to serve people with autism spectrum disorders or intellectual disability.
