Using Cutting-Edge Technology to Advance Autism Research
Autism research encompasses many diverse areas such as genetics, neurobiology, immunology and psychiatry.
The vast amount of data emerging from these fields and the complex nature of this information demands state-of-the-art IT solutions to collect, systematize, and analyze the data. We have launched the first genetic database for autism, AutDB.
