UNC AUTISM RESEARCH CENTER

The genetics revolution has made sequencing affordable, empowering large-scale clinical and research initiatives around the genetics of autism. Using genetics and phenotypic biomarkers to diagnose autism at a very early age will offer opportunities to dramatically impact the trajectory of children's lives... What if we could develop personalized treatment for each individual with autism?... By bringing together the knowledge gained from genetics research and updated treatment approaches, we'll be able to design more effective interventions that target the specific challenges each person's autism creates in his/her life.
