The 27th Annual Advances in Autism Conference

by NY's Seaver Autism Center

Established in 1996, the annual Advances in Autism Conference brings together academic, parent, and community groups to participate in thoughtful and informative presentations. The goal of the event is to discuss recent advances in autism.

This year’s 27th annual conference happens virtually on Tuesday, May 23, 2023 focuses on Precision Medicine in Profound Autism, incorporating the expertise of leaders in the field of autism research. Attend the conference to learn how researchers are identifying genetic mutations in autism, how the mutations lead to biologically-determined subtypes of autism, and how preclinical research and clinical research are developing and testing new treatments for these subtypes. The interactions between academic scientists, families and advocacy groups, and industry partners will also be discussed, as precision medicine requires input from all these groups.
