AUTISM SPEAKS Weatherstone Predoctoral Fellow Recipient 2017
Under the mentorship of Shafali Jeste, at the University of California-Los Angeles, Ms. Tran will use noninvasive electroencephalography (EEG) to identify early differences in brain connectivity in infants at high familial risk for autism. Her study will also assess whether these differences can predict language development and autism symptom severity. This work aims to improve early identification and personalized interventions that can support and improve each child’s development.
