I am unbelievably proud to have my first senior author paper published today! It was a long slog through multiple review cycles but we got there!
A big thank you to my lab members and all the collaborators and participants who contributed to this work! 🥲

Where else are we planning to open HDClarity sites?
We are currently in the process of opening recruitment to the study into other countries, including Melbourne, Australia, and Lisbon, Portugal.
