Results for Neurodevelopmental Disorders

Research by Dr. Yerys focuses on the development of cognitive and neural mechanisms that support adaptive behavior in children with neurodevelopmental disorders.

Dr. Stephenson is an attending pediatric neurologist and medical director of Operations and Outreach for the Division of Neurology at CHOP. She has special interest in neurobehavioral and neurodevelopmental disorders including ADHD, autism, Tourette syndrome, learning disabilities, and developmental delay.

Dr. Saby uses electrophysiological techniques to characterize aspects of brain function and development in children with neurodevelopmental disabilities.

Dr. Glessner’s current research focuses on childhood neuropsychiatric and neurodevelopmental disorders along with the genetic architecture associated with them, including single nucleotide polymorphisms, single nucleotide variations, and copy number variations ascertained by genomic technologies.

Dr. Goldberg's research program focuses on investigating cerebral cortical circuit function and dysfunction in neurodevelopmental disorders. Using a variety of research techniques, Dr. Goldberg has a specific research interest in the workings of neuron subtype called GABAergic inhibitory interneuron and the role of interneuron dysfunction in disease.

Dr. Ortiz-Gonzalez is a physician-scientist specializing in pediatric neurogenetics. Her clinical work focuses on finding a unifying genetic diagnosis for children with rare neurodevelopmental disorders. Her research is informed by her patients and focuses on understanding how genetic changes, in particular those affecting mitochondrial function, cause disease so we can develop better treatments for these children in the future.

Lisa Blaskey, PhD, is a clinical neuropsychologist at the Center for Autism Research and the Lurie Family Foundations MEG Imaging Center. Dr. Blaskey serves as a co-investigator and clinical expert on ASD neuroimaging studies, designing clinical and neuropsychological phenotyping batteries.

Dr. Vo’s research mission is to develop evidence-based digital health interventions to improve outcomes. Her immediate focus is to develop digital health products for suicide risk screening of children and adolescents in primary care, and to connect those at risk to mental healthcare.

Dr. Juhi Pandey is a pediatric neuropsychologist in the Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences and a scientist in the Center for Autism Research at CHOP. Her research focuses on autism spectrum disorder.

Dr. Bennett’s research interests include screening for medical and behavioral co-morbidities in individuals with developmental disabilities, with specific interest in improving screening and outcome measures for children with autism spectrum disorder.
