My name is Kristi McLaughlin and I am a recent graduate from the University of Wisconsin-Madison with a B.S. in biology with a neurobiology focus, and a certificate in global health. My older sister was born with tuberous sclerosis and has made an amazing impact on my life. Growing up with her has spurred my interest in research involving developmental disabilities like autism. I am very excited to be able to continue working in the lab as a research specialist and learning within a team of people who are as motivated and interested as I am in the motor complexities of ASD.
