Organized by the International Society for Autism Research (INSAR) and SFARI.org, the virtual Summer Institute for Autism Research provides early-career researchers with in-depth overviews of autism research topics.Originally broadcast from 18 June to 23 July 2015, the six weekly interactive presentations covered key topics in autism. The lineup of presenters included: Kevin Pelphrey (brain function and structure), Lynn Koegel (early intervention), Cathy Lord (diagnosis and identification), Matthew State (genetics), Jeremy Veenstra-VanderWeele (pharmacological pipelines) and Joseph Buxbaum (animal models).Below, you can watch full replays of each session and access the corresponding course materials.
