Research Focus
Dr. Djukic has a special interest in neuropsychology and how those with Rett syndrome communicate and excel in their education. She was the first to implement effective eye tracking technology as a method of cognitive assessment in patients with Rett syndrome and objective neurophysiological techniques to assess their language processing.
Her current main research interest is related to the development of more effective therapies for individuals with Rett syndrome. She was the Principal investigator in seven clinical trials of Rett syndrome. She has also published about clinical care and worked with other scientists to develop a better understanding of Rett syndrome and develop better outcome measures and biomarkers that can be used in treatment trials.
