Michaelson Lab at UIowa

We are the research lab of Dr. Jacob Michaelson at the University of Iowa! Our research covers genetics, computational psychiatry, and autism/neurodevelopment.

🚨🗞This just in — SPARK data have uncovered a new class of genes that may expand what we know about autism and the way the brain works! In a series of articles published in @NatureGenet, researchers examine the genetic basis of autism.

Did you know that #Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) often co-occur together? On this #flashbackfriday, the @AutismAnchors talk about what the attention deficit-autism overlap may mean for families. https://t.co/e7lPLU9rzK

We're bringing @SPARKforAutism full-steam ahead into 2019! We had a great time meeting #Omaha families @TheDurhamMuseum.

@Tinifaust Unfortunately, our lab will not be traveling quite that far, but there is a @SPARKforAutism site at @UMNSUCARD!

[Michaelson Lab at UIowa @UIMichaelson]

We're hitting the road in 2019, and we're bringing our cutting-edge autism research with us! Interested in SPARK, but have questions? Join us at one of our upcoming events, and we'll answer any and all questions. If you choose, your family can participate entirely on-site!

Congrats to @TannerKoomar and @KevinVervier on their recently published case study, found here: https://t.co/DopljkLyot

[Tanner Koomar @TannerKoomar]

Thanks for the mention, and all of your help on this @KevinVervier! Today we published this case study, describing identical twins with a unique presentation of #autism and a combination of both rare and common genetic risk factors.

[Michaelson Lab at UIowa @UIMichaelson]

On this #flashbackfriday, @WendyKChung with the @SimonsFdn talks about the information we knew about autism in '14 and more importantly, the information we didn't. These unanswered questions continues to motivate our @SPARKforAutism research team today.
