Our lab was thrilled to welcome Dr. Lauren Jenner, who will be joining us as the first ever LivJoy postdoctoral fellow, to Columbia as she prepares for her start next month. They showed Lauren around Columbia, which included a visit to a local favorite: Publico!
Lauren completed her Ph.D. at the University of Surrey, UK (as part of the Cerebra Network), under the supervision of Dr. Joanna Moss and Prof. Emily Farran. Her research focused on social cognition and autism in genetic syndromes, particularly among children and adolescents with Down syndrome and Prader-Willi syndrome.
The LivJoy foundation created in conjunction with the Arnold School of Public Health aims to support a postdoctoral researcher in their studies to advance the knowledge and improve outcomes for females with fragile X syndrome.
