Vision

The UC Davis MIND Institute (Medical Investigation of Neurodevelopmental Disorders) is a collaborative international research center, committed to the awareness, understanding, prevention, care, and cure of neurodevelopmental disorders.

Six visionary families, joined together by the challenges of autism, and motivated by an urgent desire to find answers, created an internationally renowned research center for understanding autism, fragile X syndrome, Tourette syndrome, chromosome 22Q11.2 deletion syndrome, and ADHD. What makes the MIND Institute a world-class leader in state-of-the-art research is a partnership of acknowledged experts in neuroscience, education, psychiatry, immunology, genetics, molecular biology, psychology and developmental pediatrics.

Neurodevelopmental disorders affect 1 in 20 individuals. With a staff of over 250, multiple teams are rapidly working on new ways to prevent, diagnose, treat and find eventual cures for these disorders. Through a process known as translational research, the teams use rigorous testing and clinical trials to transform new scientific findings into innovative treatments. Learn more…
