Autism, Developmental Disorders, Undiagnosed Diseases, Craniofacial Conditions, Craniosynostosis, Cleft Lip, Cleft Palate, Clinical Genetics and Genomics
Research Interests
My research is focused on the diagnosis, discovery and delineation of rare genetic conditions with a focus of neurodevelopmental disorders. This work includes the application of novel computational methods and multi-omics profiling (whole genome sequencing, RNA sequencing, metabolomics). I additionally participate in an interdisciplinary project to develop induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) models of genetic neurodevelopmental disorders..

Heidi M. Feldman

Ballinger-Swindells Endowed Professor of Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics
Clinical Focus
Developmental Behavioral Pediatrics
Research Interests
My current research program focuses on infants born preterm, before 32 weeks gestation from two language environments: English and Spanish. The study considers how neurobiological factors, specifically properties of the white matter circuits in the brain, interact with social, psychological, and economic factors to predict language processing efficiency at 18 months of age.
