Today is the last day of National Autism Acceptance Month—but that doesn’t mean MMRI stops its autism research. MMRI’s scientific staff push boundaries and work tirelessly all year in hopes of finding novel treatments for the world’s most devastating diseases. Without dedicated research staff like those at MMRI, frontier research in heart disease, autism, lupus, and more, could not be done.

Dr. Kontaridis’ lab is focused on understanding the genetics of autism. She is evaluating the genetic sequences of all family members with generational cases of autism to try to identify novel familial causes of this disorder. Already, her work has identified a link between congenital heart disease and autism and is working to identify therapeutic targets for early intervention.
