Niki is able to deep dive into your genetic report, offer insight on clinical trials and studies, and answer general questions you have around AS genetics and all the complexities. 

In addition, Niki joins Megan Tones in Australia, to serve as the US-based curator for the Global Angelman Syndrome Registry (GASR) and contribute to public-facing science writing.
