Mission-Focused

• Faculty members have a wide range of experience.
• Teams have a general research focus appropriate for their expertise.
• Both are committed to the improving the lives of individuals with developmental and intellectual disabilities.
• Shared knowledge of faculty leaders, research associates and research teams assures that MMI is a leader in advancing knowledge to benefit individuals with disabilities and complex health care needs.

Some faculty members are more clinically oriented and work directly with patients and their families, and their research discovers the best methods of treatment. Other faculty members focus on improving diagnostic methods, whether in the laboratory or by examination or behavioral testing. Others are investigating neurological development, examining the genetic and environmental factors that can lead to developmental disorders. In addition to performing their own research, many faculty members also train new practitioners and scientists to carry on this important work regionally and nationally.
