Dr. Crowley’s research focuses on psychiatric genomics and includes molecular genetic, epidemiological and twin studies of several psychiatric disorders, including obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), Tourette syndrome, schizophrenia and anorexia nervosa. Dr. Crowley has active psychiatric genetics projects in several countries, including Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Mexico and Brazil, among others.

I have an interest in early identification, biological markers, and intervention for neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs), such as autism and Down syndrome. I am investigating metrics of arousal/reactivity to social and nonsocial stimuli and associated neurobiology and behavior as a possible biomarker of later social communication deficits. I work closely with...

Sports medicine, shoulder, elbow and knee surgery, meniscus replacement and repair, articular cartilage injury, ACL injury and arthritis.

Dr. Tomaszewski’s research focuses on community and school-based programs for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities focused on quality of life. Her current research is focused on using participatory approaches to increase employment opportunities, a clinical trial of a community-college based intervention for autistic adolescents and adults, and an inclusive...

Dr. Hazlett is a licensed psychologist with a background in child neuropsychology. Dr. Hazlett’s primary research interests have focused on brain development in various neurodevelopmental and neurogenetic disorders such as autism, fragile X syndrome, Down’s syndrome, and Angelman syndrome. Studies involve conducting brain MRI scans to examine brain structure and...

Clinical and administrative focus is now primarily in the realm of well-being and professional fulfillment as well as outpatient operations

The broad goal of our research is to understand how RNA regulation contributes to the control of iron homeostasis and erythropoiesis. We use biochemical, cellular, in vivo, and computational approaches to address research questions.

As a computer scientist, my research focus is developing computational tools to facilitate neuroscience and neuroimaging studies. I am actively involved in various research projects including neuropsychiatric disorders (such as Autism) and neurodegeneration diseases (such as Alzheimer’s disease). I am interested to develop the new cutting-edge computational tools to characterize...

Dr. Styner is a leading expert in medical image computing with specific research on developing and applying novel neuroimaging methods as well as software tools for structural and diffusion MRI, mainly aimed at early postnatal brain development. His research encompasses a broad range of applications in human and non-human primate...

My career has been within the academic world of neuromuscular disease and electrodiagnostic medicine. My focus is in disorders of neuromuscular transmission including diagnosis, management and their immune abnormalities with the goal of bringing novel therapeutic agents to the bedside. Most recently, I have been involved in the clinical trials...

I am a philosopher of medicine whose primary focus is on the relationship between moral theories and concepts and various biomedical practices. My current work focuses on biomedical research including animal research, phase I healthy volunteer research, and genomic advances. In addition, I work on topics in health care including...

We study how cells regulate their survival and death. We focus on these pathways in neurons from their birth to death in the dynamic contexts of development, long-term maintenance, and disease. We use molecular and cell biological approaches in three model systems: i) Primary neurons; ii) Stem cells undergoing neuronal...
