George A Jervis Clinic

The George A Jervis Clinic, part of the Institute for Basic Research in Developmental Disabilities, offers specialized diagnostic and consultative services for individuals of all ages with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities. The clinic focuses on providing personalized care to children, adolescents, and adults, aiming to improve the understanding of brain development and pathology related to these conditions.

With a strong emphasis on research, IBR's George A Jervis Clinic houses specialized laboratories that conduct molecular diagnostic testing for specific genetic disorders such as Fragile X syndrome and Kufs disease. The clinic also collaborates with various departments within IBR, including the Department of Developmental Neurobiology, Human Genetics, and Psychology, to offer comprehensive services tailored to the unique needs of individuals with developmental disabilities.

Additionally, the clinic plays a vital role in supporting research efforts through the Brain and Tissue Bank for Research in Developmental Disabilities and Aging. By collecting, processing, and distributing brain and organ specimens for medical research, the clinic contributes to advancing knowledge in the field and developing effective diagnostic biomarkers, prevention strategies, and treatments for a range of developmental disorders.
