We are a research group focused on tic disorders/Tourette Syndrome, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), compulsivity, and related conditions. We are dedicated to advancing the scientific understanding of these conditions, developing new and improved treatments, and providing empowering information and education that fosters inclusion and counteracts stigma. Our approach emphasizes partnership with "lived experience experts" to ensure that our research is responsive to the needs of the Tourette and OCD communities.
