The Fragile X Syndrome Research Center is a team of investigators from UT Southwestern and the University of California at Riverside. The Center supports three projects representing a multilevel, integrated approach that tests mechanisms of sensory neocortical dysfunction in fragile X syndrome (FXS) and pharmacological approaches to reduce the deficits.

We focus on neurodegenerative diseases linked to amyloid protein accumulation with the goal of developing mechanism-based diagnosis and therapy.

The Chong Research group has been conducting clinical and translational research on cutaneous lupus including outcome measure development for clinical trials, biomarkers for diagnosis and prognosis, and disease outcomes.

Wei Xu Lab strives to achieve a mechanistic understanding of fundamental cognitive processes, explore their impairments in neuropsychiatric disorders, and discover innovative treatments for these conditions. 

The Volk Lab's research focuses on the hippocampus as they research how the brain balances dynamic learning and persistent memory.

The Hattori lab studies how neural circuits integrate sensorimotor information, memory, and internal state to guide behavior.

The research in the Johnson lab is focused on vertebrate nervous system development during the transition from proliferating neural stem cells to differentiating neurons and glia. 

The goal of the Krämer laboratory is to understand the molecular mechanisms that regulate responses to diverse cellular stresses.

Saelices Lab employs crystallography and cryo-EM to study amyloid deposition and design anti-amyloid tools.
