Congratulations to Dr. D'Mello, who was named a SFARI Bridge to Independence Fellow! The SFARI BTI Fellowship supports early-career researchers who are interested in autism research by facilitating their transition to an independent position and providing $600,000 in grant funding over three years. This funding will support a project aimed at examining the role of cerebello-prefrontal cortex circuits in cognitive inflexibility in autism, and whether cognitive inflexibility may contribute to both strengths and challenges in autism.
