Joseph D. Buxbaum, PhD, Director of the Seaver Autism Center, was recently featured on the CUNY Television show “Science and U!” in a segment on “Science and Genetics.” On the show, Dr. Buxbaum discussed the Autism Sequencing Consortium (ASC), an international group of scientists who share autism spectrum disorder (ASD) samples and genetic data. The goal of the ASC is to accelerate our understanding of the causes of ASD, and thus increase the speed at which novel therapeutics are developed. Watch the show here!
