DDM Clinical Research Lab | Investigators and Research Teams

At its core, research efforts of clinical researchers within the DM-CRL aim to:

• Develop novel approaches to collect clinical data in a structured way during each clinical encounter to improve care for our patients and increase accessibility of clinical data to inform research.
• Identify meaningful subtypes that may respond to different treatment approaches.
• Rigorously evaluate diagnosis, trajectory, treatment response, and outcomes for children and adolescents with neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs).
• Link information about specific symptoms, behaviors, developmental trajectories, and treatment response to biomarkers, including electroencephalogram (EEG), functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), blood, and genetic biomarkers.
• Promote internal and external collaboration with investigators at Boston Children’s Hospital, nationally, and internationally.
