Medical - Genetics of Neurodevelopmental Disorders: We are interested in finding contributing genetic factors for specific behavioral and psychiatric phenotypes of neurodevelopmental genetic disorders. Currently, we have enlisted two clinical populations for our study: Autism Spectrum Disorder and Prader-Willi syndrome. Our project consists of clinical assessments of participating subjects (phenotypic assessment) and molecular genetic study (genotyping) to find phenotype-genotype correlations.

Requirements: Applicants interested in clinical assessments are required to have good clinical manner and motivation to learn new diagnostic assessments. Applicants interested in molecular genetic study are required to have motivation to learn new molecular genetic study protocols, such as DNA extraction, quantification, and genotyping. Strong work ethics and motivation are most important.
