Hi! We are MiNT Laboratory, welcome to our website!

你好！我们是MiNT实验室，欢迎来到我们的网站！

Hola, somos MiNT Laboratory. ¡Bienvenidos a nuestro sitio web!

The Multilingual and Interdisciplinary Neuroscience and Theory (MiNT) laboratory is dedicated to advancing the frontiers of multilingual children's education through innovative research and interdisciplinary collaboration.

We are driven by a passion for discovery, and dedicated to pursuing research that not only contributes to the academic discourse but also has practical implications and societal impact.

We are a group of educational scholars on a mission to support multilingual children’s learning and development by contributing to the knowledge base on their language, literacy, academic, and socioemotional development. We broadly focus on early development of culturally and linguistically diverse children and how early development and education may reduce racial and social-class disparities.
