Research project awarded by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences to study environmental chemical mixtures, genetics, and immune pathways in autism spectrum disorder, aiming to identify risk factors and develop interventions.
Description
The project focuses on understanding the interactions between environmental chemical mixtures, genetics, and immune pathways in autism spectrum disorder. The project aims to identify modifiable risk factors and biological pathways in ASD, involving complex environmental mixtures analysis, genome-wide analysis, and gene-environment interaction studies. It is part of a broader effort to develop interventions to lower neurotoxic exposures in pregnant mothers and infants.
