Scientific Focus
Current Research Interests
Dr. Halls primary area of interest is understanding the pathogenesis of behavior disorders in individuals diagnosed with neurogenetic disorders such as fragile X syndrome, Cornelia de Lange syndrome and Prader-Willi syndrome. Dr. Hall studies methods for understanding how environmental and biological factors can affect the development of aberrant behaviors in these syndromes. The end goal of his research is to create patient-specific methods for treating the symptoms of these disorders.
