Understanding the Underlying Mechanisms in Neurodevelopmental Disorders
The overall mission of the Schmitt lab is use translational neuroscientific approaches to better understand underlying mechanisms in neurodevelopmental disorders in order to guide individualized and tailored treatment development. Our current projects cover a diverse range of research from establishing the clinical utility of the molecular assays in FXS to conducting focus groups and qualitative analysis to develop a new parent-report measure of behavioral flexibility in FXS to conducting in-person trainings for first responders and autistic individuals to enhance community safety.
