2. ADHD Gems –Unlocking a non-drug-based approach to help improve ADHD symptoms in children.
3. PRAT – Understanding if certain combinations of genes impact how well an individual responds to ADHD treatment, ultimately taking the guess and check approach out of ADHD treatments.
4.CES1 –Investigating how the gene that codes for CES1 impacts how people will respond to this medicine over time.
Students will have the opportunity to support research study functions, learn data processing and analytic skills, and receive mentorship by Investigators, clinicians, graduate students, and recent undergraduate graduates.
