Publishing to share knowledge and advance science.
The Neurodevelopmental Diversity Lab at Northwestern University is proud to publish its research work – not only to enhance our own understanding and gain new perspective on our research of genetics and autism/fragile X, but also to communicate our findings to the greater scientific community, with the intent of spurring science forward in this field.
