Integrating Human and Mouse Studies in Fragile X Syndrome – an NIH Center Approach


Devin Binder, MD, PhD, Associate Professor in residence at the University of California-Riverside, is both a neurosurgeon and neuroscientist. Dr. Binder’s more recent research projects have included mechanisms of epileptic seizures and understanding why individuals with autism are hypersensitive to sound.
In this Fragile X research webinar we hear from Devin K. Binder, MD, PhD, Professor, University of California at Riverside Medical School and Khaleel Razak, PhD, Professor, University of California at Riverside as they present about Mechanisms and Biomarkers of Sensory Hypersensitivity in the fmr1 Knockout Mouse.
With a $90,000 grant from FRAXA Research Foundation over 2018-2019, Drs. Devin Binder, Iryna Ethell, and Patricia Pirbhoy at the University of California at Riverside aim to understand – and reverse – hypersensitivity to sound in Fragile X syndrome.
