Research at Marcus Autism Center
Marcus Autism Center is the largest center for clinical care of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and their families in the U.S., seeing more than 5,000 patients every year. The center also works in partnership with Emory National Primate Research Center, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and Georgia Institute of Technology.These varied institutions enable a multidisciplinary and translational approach to ASD research, spanning projects in behavioral neuroscience, neuroimaging, molecular and population genetics, and treatment. The directors of the Fellowship Program lead the social neuroscience, spoken communication, neuroimaging and education sciences research cores within Marcus Autism Center. These research cores use eye-tracking technology, neuroimaging, computational modeling and behavioral neuroscience methods to better understand the causes and developmental mechanismsunderlying ASD, and to develop new tools to improve early detection, diagnosis and treatment of ASD.
