I was trained in an interdisciplinary doctoral program on language acquisition and approached the study of language impairment from both linguistic and molecular genetic perspectives. My past research used family-based genetic methods to investigate the genetic basis of typical and impaired language acquisition. I am continuing my training in the multidisciplinary environment of the Thompson Center for Autism and Neurodevelopment as a postdoctoral fellow and my research aims to identify early predictors of autism and measure the earliest drivers of developmental differences.
