Students Profiles
Research Interests:I'm interested in studying social cognition in adolescents with velocardiofacial syndrome (VCFS; 22q11.2 deletion syndrome), and associations with genetic variations and white matter structure. Fellowship:Petya is the recipient of a Dennis Weatherstone pre-doctoral Fellowship from Autism Speaks. The title of her project is "Social Cognition in 22q11.2 DS Adolescent with ASD vs. without ASD: imaging and Genetic Correlates" |

"In addition to my primary investigator, I've had several other mentors," said Yung Lyou, who studies genetic eye disorders. "By collaborating with Frank Middleton, PhD, our Microarray core facility director, I've been able to run screens on thousands of genes at one time. That's interdisciplinary. I was also able to take a two-week course at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory on Long Island, so that I could learn other techniques to help me in my research here." |
