The UCLA MRRC is a multidisciplinary research organization whose purpose is to provide new knowledge concerning the understanding and treatment of Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities (MRDD) . It attempts to fulfill this purpose in two ways:

1. By creating an environment in which research methodology and knowledge from traditional academic and clinical disciplines can be merged to focus on relevant basic and clinical research problems,
2. By training new investigators in research involving MRDD

MRRC faculty use multiple research approaches to study MRDD. These approaches fit into the following research groups: Cellular and Molecular Neuroscience and Neurogenetics Group Clinical Research Group Socio Behavioral Group
