Rare Disease Day: Dr. DNA "Leaps" Across CAN Labs!
Rare Disease Day is also Leap Day! CAN Researchers are using science to help find treatment solutions for those affected by rare diseases. To celebrate, Dr. DNA "leaps" across CAN labs.
Led by Jane Roberts, representing the Department of Psychology, and Jeff Twiss, from the Department of Biological Sciences, this initiative strives to establish an interdisciplinary, cooperative hub for advancing basic, clinical, and intervention research, as well as education, focusing on autism and neurodevelopmental disorders at the University of South Carolina.
