Translational Autism Laboratory Featured in AAMC Article.

We are proud to share that the Translational Autism Laboratory was recently highlighted in the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) article, “Robust NIH Funding Saves Lives, Strengthens America.”

This national feature emphasizes the critical role that National Institutes of Health (NIH) support plays in advancing biomedical discoveries, training the next generation of scientists, and ensuring that research directly benefits patients and families.

Our inclusion in this piece reflects the importance of our mission: to bridge neuroscience with clinical insights in order to better understand autism spectrum disorder and dysautonomia. By combining translational research with patient-centered approaches, our lab is working to uncover new mechanisms and interventions that improve quality of life for individuals with autism and their families.

Strong, consistent scientific funding is essential for progress. Breakthroughs in medicine do not happen overnight—they are the result of sustained investment in people and ideas.

We are deeply grateful to the NIH for their ongoing support of our work and for recognizing the urgency of autism research. As the AAMC article underscores, robust federal investment in science is not just a matter of academic advancement—it is an investment in healthier futures for millions of Americans.
