Welcome to the University of Washington Hindbrain Malformation Research Program website.

We study the biology of hindbrain malformations and neurodevelopmental disorders such as Joubert syndrome, rhombencephalosynapsis, pontine tegmental cap dysplasia, and Chudley-McCullough syndrome to advance our understanding of brain development and improve the lives of families affected by these conditions. Identifying the causes of these disorders will provide better diagnostic and prognostic information to families and, we hope, lead to better treatments in the future. Please contact us for more information or to participate in our research.

Families from all over the world have enrolled in our research.
