Johns Hopkins Center of Excellence

Introduction

In April 2007, HOPES researcher Justine Seidenfeld visited the Baltimore Huntington's Disease Center (BHDC) in the Department of Psychiatry at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in Baltimore, MD. The BHDC has been designated as a Center of Excellence by the Huntington's Disease Society of America (HDSA). Centers of Excellence are recognized not only for the quality and scope of care they provide for their patients, but also for their clinical and basic research efforts, and the outreach services they provide to the general community. For more on the HDSA's Center of Excellence program, please click here. The Baltimore Huntington's Disease Center serves most of the mid-Atlantic region, providing services to Maryland, Pennsylvania, Delaware, New Jersey, Washington DC, and Virginia.

HOPES would like to thank the Baltimore Huntington's Disease Center, particularly Mr. Abhijit Agarwal, Ms. Kit McFarland, Ms. Debbie Pollard, and the director of the Center, Dr. Chris Ross, for taking time out of their busy schedules to speak with us and share their perspectives on Huntington's disease research.
