Скачать или смотреть Dr. Jonathan Sebat: Bridging world-class science and the neurodiverse community

"Autism Tree is establishing itself as a hub for interaction between the community and the science." — Dr. Jonathan Sebat, UCSD VERGE Center

At Autism Tree, we are proud to serve as a vital bridge between world-class science and the neurodiverse community. 🤝✨

As a key community partner of the UCSD VERGE Center, we are working alongside a dedicated Neurodiverse Advisory Committee to ensure that lived experience leads the way in research.

Our very own spokesperson, Otto Lana, alongside committee members Lauren Taylor, Judith Ursitti, and Chair Philip Smith, Ph.D. (Drexel University), provides the essential "lived experience" feedback that shapes VERGE’s $12.7M research investigating how specific genetic mutations influence brain development.

The collaboration goes even deeper: Dr. Jonathan Sebat also serves as a Co-Chair for Autism Tree’s Global Neurodiversity Conference, further bridging the gap between global scientific leadership and our local community. 🌍🧬

Watch to hear from Dr. Sebat on why this partnership is a "major driver" in connecting scientists with the families they serve.
