A 2016 Emerging Research Grants (ERG) recipient generously funded by Royal Arch Research Assistance, Elizabeth McCullagh, Ph.D., describes her work on auditory difficulties in Fragile X syndrome, the most common single-gene form of autism spectrum disorders, as well as give an overview on CAPD and what is currently known in the field. McCullagh is an assistant professor in the department of integrative biology at Oklahoma State University.
