![]() ![]() ![]() Through these studies, and similar efforts by others, ~100 different genes are no longer merely ‘candidate’ genes for ASD risk, but are now ‘known’ genes based on their recurrent disruption by de novo mutations.ĭefining the molecular mechanisms that underlie autism requires not only identification of critical genetic risk factors, but also understanding how they interact within a complex and developing system. My pioneering work in the last decade has focused on developing and implementing new research paradigms and technologies that challenge the genetic intractability of complex NDDs, especially autism spectrum disorder (ASD). My goal is to understand the molecular basis of neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) and have these fundamental insights translate into meaningful clinical interventions. ![]() I then went on for postdoctoral training in the Department of Genome Sciences at the University of Washington, under Drs. in Biology at CSU Fresno, I did my PhD studies at Yale University working with Dr. I’m originally from California’s Central Valley. ![]()
