When Wayne Duffus moved from Jamaica to New York after high school, he quickly developed an interest in science thanks to a handful of inspiring mentors. His family was immigrating to the United States, and he was excited to attend City University of New York – Brooklyn College. After graduation, as he continued exploring his newly found passion, he enrolled in an MD-PhD program at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine and eventually went on to specialize in infectious diseases to help fight the growing HIV epidemic. Since then, he has focused his work on HIV prevention in the clinical, public health and government sectors.

SAN ANTONIO (May 27, 2021) One-fifth of babies who inherit a genetic variant located on chromosome 16 will develop autism spectrum disorder (ASD) by age 3. The variant is called 16p11.2 deletion.
Noboru Hiroi, PhD, of The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio (also referred to as UT Health San Antonio), is studying mice that have this deletion. The team, which includes colleagues from Japan, Ireland and the U.S., is harnessing the power of machine learning to understand which vocalizations of the newborn mouse pups are most predictive of social abnormalities one month later when the pups reach puberty.
