  Neuropsychologist intern

  Neuropsychological assessment in children and adolescents with Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome (RTS). Under supervision of (Dr.) Ger Ramakers, I investigated whether individuals with RTS can be characterized by a profile of relative strengths and weaknesses in cognitive functioning. Results of this assessment could further our understanding of the gene-brain-cognition relationship in RTS.
