Research summary
Evaluating genetic and hormonal basis for sex differences in neurodevelopmental disabilities

I am a student in the Dougherty lab, studying the genetics of neurodevelopmental disabilities such as autism. I’m primarily interested in evaluating any genetic and hormonal sex differences that might explain the sex bias seen in many neurodevelopmental and psychiatric conditions.
