Research Focus
Dr. Veronica Hinton's lab at Queens College focuses on understanding how the fragile X premutation (a genetic condition) affects cognitive and behavioral development in children. By studying a large and unique group of children, the lab aims to uncover potential neurodevelopmental problems that may arise in children carrying this gene variant, which is often overlooked. Their work is essential for parents and healthcare providers to better navigate the risks associated with this condition and support affected children effectively.
