University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus

We use state-of-the-art, transformational research platforms to decipher the unique biology and disease spectrum caused by trisomy of chromosome 21.

Our ultimate goal is to enable precision medicine approaches to improve health outcomes in Down syndrome, including the development of new diagnostic and therapeutic tools.

We are the largest geographical cluster of Down syndrome researchers in the world

Comprised of over 50 Principal Investigators and countless more contributing scientists from across the University of Colorado campuses, our researchers bring expertise from a variety of fields.

Together, we are working to decipher the complex mechanisms and multi-faceted health impacts of trisomy 21.
