项目摘要

The mission of the DC-IDDRC is to expand our understanding of the causes underlying intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDDs), develop innovative therapies, and prevent or attenuate the full effects of these disorders, so that each child can achieve her/his full physical and intellectual potential. To realize this mission, we provide a rich environment for performing fully translational IDDR in the four collaborating DC academic medical centers (Children’s National Hospital (lead), George Washington University, Howard University, and Georgetown University). Our specific aims are: 1) To identify the causes and develop new clinical approaches for the prevention or amelioration of IDDs; 2) To provide accessible, state-of-the-art,cost- effective core facilities for cohesive, multidisciplinary research and education/training in IDDR; 3) To create an intellectual home for investigators engaged in IDDR; and 4) To implement an innovative Research Project that addresses two IDDR themes (Interventions and Management of Co-morbid Mental Health Conditions; Outcome Measures or Biomarkers for Interventions or Treatments). The DC-IDDRC Director, Vittorio Gallo, PhD, is an internationally renowned neuroscientist who will direct the Administrative Core that functions as the organizing nexus of the DC-IDDRC, providing management, administration, communication and training, assuring compliance and quality assurance, directing strategic planning and recruitment, and promoting the growth of the DC-IDDRC. The scientific cores provide an integrated platform and synergy for investigation, as required by truly translational IDDR. The Clinical Translational Core (CTC) is designed to serve as a “one- stop-shop” for IDDR investigators, assisting at each stage of the clinical and translational research spectrum and optimizing the efficient, high quality implementation of fundamental research. The Genomics and Bioinformatics Core (GBC) provides advanced genomics technologies and specialized statistical analyses for DNA and mRNA studies. The Cell and Tissue Microscopy Core (CTMC) supports investigators with a broad array of advanced cellular/molecular imaging tools for state-of-the-art neuroscience studies. The Human and Animal Imaging Core (HAIC) provides scientific and technical support for in vivo/ex vivo whole brain imaging, image processing, and image analysis for human and animal studies. The Neurobehavioral Evaluation Core (NEC) provides sophisticated neurobehavioral research support to define developmental and behavioral phenotypes in humans and animals. Our project “Intervention-induced plasticity of flexibility and learning mechanisms in ASD” utilizes the CTC, HAIC and NEC. Through these components, the DC- IDDRC will enhance the recruitment and training of investigators, generate innovation, and promote transdisciplinary research to facilitate the development, implementation, and dissemination of new diagnostic and therapeutic advances for the care of individuals with IDDs.

DC-IDDDRC 的使命是加深我们对知识和文化背后原因的理解。发育障碍（IDD），开发创新疗法，并预防或减弱发育障碍的全部影响这些障碍，以便每个孩子都能充分发挥其身体和智力潜力。使命，我们为在四个合作 DC 中执行完全转化 IDDR 提供丰富的环境学术医疗中心（儿童国家医院（牵头）、乔治华盛顿大学、霍华德大学和乔治城大学）。我们的具体目标是：1）找出原因并开发新的。预防或改善 IDD 的临床方法； 2) 提供可用的、最先进的、成本低廉的方法；有效的核心设施，用于 IDDR 的凝聚力、多学科研究和教育/培训 3) 创建为从事 IDDR 的研究人员提供知识之家；以及 4) 实施创新研究项目涉及两个 IDDR 主题（共病心理健康状况的干预和管理；干预或治疗的结果测量或生物标志物）DC-IDDRC 主任 Vittorio Gallo，博士，是一位国际知名的神经科学家，他将领导行政核心，其职能是 DC-IDDRC 的组织关系，提供管理、行政、沟通和培训，确保合规性和质量保证，指导战略规划和招聘，并促进 DC-IDDRC 的科学核心为研究提供了一个综合平台和协同作用。根据真正的转化 IDDR 的要求，临床转化核心 (CTC) 旨在充当“单一- 为 IDDR 研究人员提供一站式服务，在临床和转化研究的每个阶段提供协助优化基础研究高效、高质量实施。生物信息学核心 (GBC) 提供先进的基因组学技术和专业的统计分析用于 DNA 和 mRNA 研究的细胞和组织显微镜核心 (CTMC) 为研究人员提供支持用于最先进的神经科学研究的一系列先进的细胞/分子成像工具。人类和动物成像核心（HAIC）为体内/离体整体提供科学技术支持用于人类和动物研究的脑成像、图像处理和图像分析。评估核心 (NEC) 提供复杂的神经行为研究支持来定义发育我们的项目“干预诱导的灵活性可塑性”。 ASD 中的学习机制”利用了 CTC、HAIC 和 NEC 通过这些组件，DC-。 IDDRC将加强调查人员的招募和培训，激发创新，促进跨学科研究促进新诊断方法的开发、实施和传播以及 IDD 患者护理方面的治疗进展。
