Dr. Wachtel received her undergraduate degree in Romance Languages and Literatures from Princeton University with a major in French Language and Literature. She graduated in 1993 Summa Cum Laude as a member of Phi Beta Kappa. She received her M.D. from the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in Baltimore, MD in 1998.

Research Summary:

Dr. Wachtel’s recent research has focused largely on CHARGE syndrome, a genetic pattern of birth defects that can cause extensive medical and behavioral difficulties. She is currently studying the behavioral phenotype in CHARGE syndrome, including the review of multiple cases of children with CHARGE syndrome treated for severe behavioral disturbance, as well as a review of psychotropic medications prescribed nationally to children with CHARGE.

Dr. Wachtel is also investigating with colleagues at Kennedy Krieger the combined usage of psychopharmacological and behavioral treatment modalities in the resolution of severe problem behaviors, such as self-injury and aggression, in children and adults with various forms of developmental disabilities.
