Down Syndrome Research Center
Rarely in basic or clinical research do we have the thrill of seeing results translated into therapies that transform lives. Such an opportunity now exists within the Stanford Institute of Neuro-innovation and Translational Neurosciences where critical discoveries in the laboratory are being translated into viable treatment strategies for patients and their families. Within this institute, the Stanford Center for Down Syndrome Research is entering a new era.
Dr. Craig Garner and new Co-Directors Dr. Craig Heller and Dr. Heidi Feldman are leading a new and expanded collaborative effort between researchers and clinicians who study Down syndrome and related disorders. Their top priority is to evaluate the clinical discoveries made with animal models of Down syndrome in order to improve the health and well-being of individuals with Down syndrome.
